We seek highly motivated individuals who are passionate about making significant changes in health care. The Admissions Committee typically looks at one’s motivations and experience in health care to see if they express a clear discernment that they want to make and implement change. Successful candidates have been admitted from several undergraduate degree types and institutions.

Students seeking to accelerate earning their degree can take 12 to 15 credits per term with advisement and approval from the program director. International students on an F1 visa must take nine credits per term on site, with the exception of their last term (before degree completion).
