Master of Health Education

Admission Requirements

The Admissions Committee will review MHE applications and admit prospective students who satisfy the MHE Program and Graduate School admission requirements. Applicants who do not completely satisfy requirements are referred to the Admissions Committee to determine recommended admission or denial.

For classified admission into the program, applicants must satisfy the following criteria:

  1. Applicants must have a minimum of a 3.0 GPA based on the last 60 hours of undergraduate work. Eligible credits are determined by the Graduate School.
  2. An applicant who currently holds a graduate degree must submit their transcripts, but the undergraduate GPA requirement will not apply. Students who the program plans to accept must submit their college transcripts to the ISU Graduate School.
  3. Have two letters of recommendation from non-relative individuals familiar with your academic or professional abilities (no personal references).
  4. Applicants must upload a typed essay (one to two pages, single-spaced) to the graduate application portal describing their interest in pursuing the MHE degree and their vision of how it will facilitate their career goals
