With departmental permission, a student who does not meet one or more admission requirements may be allowed to take up to 6 credit hours of core coursework in the MPH program. If the student earns a grade of at least a B in each course, full admission to the program may be granted.

Note: Due to the online nature of the MPH program, enrollment does not meet the requirements for an F-1 visa.

International students whose undergraduate coursework was not completed at an English-speaking institution must submit an official report of their TOEFL or IELTS scores. A minimum score of 100 on the TOEFL or 7 on the IELTS is required. TOEFL scores should be sent to institution code R1321, program code 50.

If your undergraduate degree is from a non-U.S. institution, we require a degree evaluation as an assurance that you have completed the U.S. equivalent of a bachelor's degree.

Criminal Background Check

In order to protect future patients/clients and sites, internship and practicum students may be required to have criminal background checks prior to being accepted at a specific site placement. In some circumstances, this process may be required to meet professional licensure requirements. A criminal history may affect placement and/or licensure, and in some cases, disqualify a student from a specific placement.

Required Health Documentation

Students in the KHSS programs must comply with all health requirements. Health requirements are tracked throughout the program in order to ensure students remain in compliance with internship, practicum, and/or site requirements. Proof of immunity and/or vaccinations may be required. Additionally, some students may be required to have a physical exam completed by a primary health provider, as well as, proof of health insurance prior to acceptance for certain site placements.
