Applying to the MPH Program After Certificate Completion
Many students are interested in using the Graduate Certificate in Public Health as a stepping stone to the Masters of Public Health (MPH) program. The graduate certificate courses will be available to transfer up to three years from the start of the first class in the graduate certificate program. To complete the application process, students must:
- Finish the Graduate Certificate in Public Health program with a 3.3 GPA or higher and no course with below a B-. Those not on track to finish the program with these requirements may contact the Admissions Office for options.
- Fill out the certificate transition form with the Registrar’s Office during the final semester of your last certificate course.
Students who wish to apply for the MPH program will be considered for merit-based scholarships. Students are also encouraged to apply for need-based financial aid.
