Policies
- Prior Degrees Applicants who hold a professional degree (PhD, JD, DO, MD, MPAP or PharmD) from an accredited institution in the United States are not required to submit a GRE score. The GRE requirement is also waived for students who are enrolled in the doctor of pharmacy, physician assistant, doctor of osteopathic medicine, or juris doctorate programs at Campbell University and are in good standing.
- Late Applicants Applications received after June 1 of the applying year are considered late and the applicant will incur a late application fee. Applications for the applying year will be accepted until August 1. Applications received after August 1 are held and considered for the following year.
- Conditional Acceptance Applicants who meet the GPA and GRE requirements but lack other prerequisite(s) may be eligible for conditional acceptance, conditional upon completion of the prerequisite. Students may enroll in MSPH courses prior to completion of program prerequisites, but all must be completed in no more than one academic year and before a student is able to receive full acceptance into the program.
- Provisional Acceptance Applicants who do not meet the GPA or GRE requirement may be eligible for provisional acceptance. A unanimous vote by the Department of Public Health Admissions Committee is required for an applicant to receive provisional acceptance. Provisional acceptance will be granted for no more than one academic year or successful completion of nine credit hours with a GPA at or above 3.0, whichever is completed first.
International Applicants
- International applications are not eligible for provisional acceptance as described above, if a US student visa is required.
- International applications must also submit a certified copy of a financial or bank statement that shows sufficient funds to obtain a US student visa.
- International applications must complete their application for admission and all supplemental materials must be received by the April 1 deadline to be considered for admission.
- Official transcripts with official seal, stamp or signature of a school or government official must be submitted in the original language for each post-secondary institution of higher education attended (if not in English, it must be accompanied by an exactly worded and certified translation.) International students may be required to submit proof of accreditation from the Ministry of Education or provide a World Education Services evaluation of their credentials (at the cost of the applicant.)
