Applicants interested in the Master of Science in Global Health (MScGH) program must have a bachelor’s degree (or its equivalent) from an institutionally accredited college or university.
Applicants may apply to undertake two programs concurrently, with the exception of the ND/DAcCHM/DSOM combination. All application and prerequisite coursework requirements must be met for both programs. Students taking online programs may apply for a secondary program after their first year. While at NUNM, students may add a concurrent program by applying for admission to the second program. For admission consideration, students must meet the criteria for Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in their current program at the time of application.
A GPA of 3.0 or higher is strongly encouraged. Credit will only be given for prerequisite coursework earning a “C” or better. Applicants may apply with prereq coursework still in progress; however, the Office of Admissions must receive all official transcripts showing completed coursework prior to matriculation. For the purpose of prerequisites, the Office of Admissions defines a “course” as either a quarter or semester term.
Application Process
Applicants for the graduate and professional programs must submit the following required items to complete an application:
- Application for admission
- $75.00 application fee
- Resume or curriculum vita
- Designated essay questions
- Two recommendation forms (academic or professional)
- Official copy of all transcripts
- Complete prerequisite table in the application for admission
- Bachelor’s degree – candidates may apply while in progress
- Grade of C or better in prerequisite coursework – candidates may apply while in progress
- B or higher cumulative GPA is strongly recommended
- An understanding of why this degree program is for you
- An on-campus interview is NOT required for the MScGH program
Applicants are selected regardless of race, gender, gender identity, age, religion, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, marital status, disabilities, or any other protected class under local, state or federal law.
Program Prerequisites
Prerequisite courses are designed to ensure entering students are academically prepared for the curriculum of the program. Prerequisite courses may be substituted with comparable coursework if the program dean (or designee), utilizing the transcript evaluation procedures, determines that the learning objectives are met. NUNM does not accept life experience in lieu of prerequisite credits.
