Master of Science in Health Science: Geriatric Management
| Program Overview | The primary goal of the Master of Science in Health program is to provide students with the advanced, specialized skills needed by health professionals. While the specialization requirements may vary, the M.S.H. requires nine semester hours of department core requirements, plus the professional and support requirements or electives. Electives are chosen with the approval of the student’s advisor. Geriatric Management involves a program of study consisting of a minimum of 39 semester hours and is intended to serve those individuals who want to work in the rapidly expanding field of health care for the aging population. |
| Special Notes About the Program | This is a program primed for major growth. |
| Application Information | Applications are accepted fall, spring, and summer terms. |
| Admission Requirements | In addition to satisfying general University criteria for admission into a graduate program, students wishing to enter the degree program leading to the Master of Science in Health degree must present GRE scores (1000 minimum total on verbal and quantitative sections), or a grade point average of 3.0 or higher in all work completed as an upper-division student (normally 60 semester hours taken during the last two years of undergraduate study). GRE scores are mandatory and must be received prior to being fully admitted into the graduate program. In addition, students must have an undergraduate degree supporting graduate study in Health Science. Students not satisfying the latter condition may be admitted only after arranging with the graduate advisor for a program of study which will remove the deficiencies. Letter of recommendation may be required. |
