Public Health Articulation Agreement for Shenandoah University

Advance to Your Graduate Degree with Shenandoah University's Articulation Agreement

Shenandoah University's Schools of Health Professions and Pharmacy have established articulation agreements with the undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences. These agreements provide a pathway into the graduate admission process by reserving a set number of seats in their programs for students applying from within Shenandoah.

Admission Requirements

For admission and entry into the Master of Public Health Program through this articulation agreement, candidates must complete the following for priority status eligibility:

1. Submit a completed MPH Graduate Application for Admission for either the Fall or Spring admissions cycle.
2. Complete all prerequisites required for admission to the program.
3. Submit all official transcripts, resume/CV, and two letters of reference.
4. Submit a personal statement that describes the applicant's education, experience, and professional career objectives.
5. Submit GRE results, with a minimum combined verbal and quantitative score of 1000 (old test) or 300 (new test) or higher considered competitive.
6. Hold a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree with all prerequisites completed, and a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 (in a 4.0 system).

Admissions Process

Up to five students/graduates per year from Shenandoah University who meet the criteria for admission through the Articulation Agreement will be granted priority status for admissions to the Master of Public Health Program. Priority applicants must have an on-site interview prior to admission and receive an interview score of acceptable or above.

If more than five students meet the application deadline and qualify for priority status, Shenandoah University's Master of Public Health Program will rank-order all priority applicants based on consideration of the full set of application materials and the evaluations from the admissions interview. Additional students will enter the regular applicant pool.

All decisions for admission into the Master of Public Health Program are made by the Admissions Committee for the division. Students can be given provisional acceptance, indicating that some of the admissions requirements need to be completed prior to matriculation into the program.

After successful completion of the curriculum in the Master of Public Health Program, Shenandoah University awards a Master of Public Health degree. The program is designed for applicants who have completed the prerequisites and will be obtaining a baccalaureate from Shenandoah University. This agreement is available to all students enrolled full-time at Shenandoah University for undergraduate study.
