Admission Requirements
A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in a health-related field (such as public health, health education/health promotion, exercise science/ kinesiology or human nutrition), or a bachelor’s degree in another field plus professional experience in a health-related field, is required.
Students with a bachelor’s degree in a science field, but one that is not considered a direct healthcare profession (e.g., biology, biomedical sciences, etc.) and those with a non-health science degree from fields such as business, communications, psychology/ sociology, human development, education, or other field may be required to take an additional undergraduate health-related course (e.g., intro public health or health promotion with a grade of B or better) prior to enrolling or while concurrently taking courses during the first semester in the graduate program.
