Master's degree
Students that earn a B or better in each course in the online graduate certificate in epidemiology program may be recommended for admission into the online master of public health program and will not be required to submit GRE scores. In the event that a student successfully completes the certificate and decides to continue into the MPH program, course credits earned for the certificate will be credited toward the MPH degree.
