Successful applicants must have at least three years of relevant supervisory work experience in a public health agency or comparable organization and have earned an M.P.H. degree from an accredited program in public health with a GPA of 3.0 or better. Transcripts must be sent from both undergraduate and graduate school attendance.
For applicants without an M.P.H. degree, the applicant should present evidence of equivalent public health work experience as well as either 1) evidence of having successfully passed the C.P.H. (Certificate in Public Health) exam; or 2) document that they have completed graduate courses in public health core classes (epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, health management and policy, and behavioral health) from an accredited School or Program or equivalent academic preparation within the past ten years. If you have any questions, whether you meet the requirements or not, please contact the program director. We would be happy to discuss with you.
A personal statement of interest and commitment.
Three letters of reference, one of which should be from a current employer.
Meeting the minimum requirements qualifies an individual for consideration but does not guarantee admission to the program. Admission will be granted on a competitive basis.
