Non degree-seeking enrollment
Prior to acceptance into the program, you may enroll in up to 3 credit hours as a non degree-seeking (in some cases, post-baccalaureate) student. Enrollment does not guarantee acceptance. Learn more about non degree-seeking university student admissions.
Master's degree
Students who complete their Graduate Certificate program with a cumulative 3.0 or better GPA may transfer into the online Master of Public Health with an emphasis in Health Promotion and Policy program or the online Master of Public Health with an emphasis in Veterinary Public Health program without needing to submit a new application for admission. Students should work closely with the MPH Academic Advisor to ensure that courses taken toward their graduate certificate will also count toward their MPH program.
