Admission Requirements for the MHA

Decisions for admission to the MHA program are not based on a single factor. Rather, the applicant’s overall profile is considered. Criteria include the following:

• Prior academic performance.
• Related work, professional or volunteer experience.
• Personal statement.
• Recommendations (professional and/or academic).
• Standardized test scores are helpful in the admission decision; however, they are not required for all applicants.
• Standardized test scores (GMAT or GRE), taken within the previous 5 years, are required of applicants with fewer than 3 years of relevant work or professional or volunteer experience, or less than a 2.75 cumulative grade point average (GPA) in an undergraduate degree.
• Personal interview, if requested.
