Master's Degree 

Early application is recommended.  Applications are accepted year round and admissions are given on a rolling basis.  Applications that are not complete by June 1st run the risk of not being reviewed for fall admission

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.
• One year each of college-level biology and mathematics is ordinarily required. Students whose background in the biological sciences are judged to be insufficient will be required to take one to three courses in biological sciences. These courses will not count toward the master's degree.
• Satisfactory performance on the General GRE and GRE Writing Assessment*, or the MCAT.  This requirement may be waived for individuals possessing an earned doctoral degree from a university in the U.S. or Canada. (*Beginning October, 2002, the General GRE test will be composed of verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing sections.  Therefore, if the GRE is taken after October 1, 2002, you will not be required to submit the GRE Written Assessment. However, if the GRE was taken prior to October 1, 2002, you must submit the GRE Written Assessment.)
• Three letters of recommendation, at least one of which must be from someone who is familiar with your recent academic or professional work. The Department of Epidemiology does not require any special forms or instructions for letters of recommendation.  The MSU Recommendation for Admission form can be found here 
• Prior work experience in a health field is recommended.
