What are the Admission Requirements for the Case MPH Program?
The MPH Admissions Committee seeks candidates with strong communication and analytical skills with a passion for the mission of the public health profession. The committee reviews each candidate thoroughly, looking specifically for individuals who demonstrate the ability to succeed in the program and beyond. Applicants must have good academic records from fully accredited universities and colleges. Students admitted to the program should already hold undergraduate degrees. A complete application file is required for an MPH admissions review consisting of:
- Forms A & B from CWRU School of Graduate Studies (http://www.case.edu/provost/gradstudies/appinfo.html) – please submit online, as we will no longer be accepting Forms A & B in hard copy
- Personal Statement
- Transcript(s) from all institutions listed on Forms A & B
- Three letters of recommendations (forms included with online application, accompanying letters preferred)
- Documentation of standardized test scores in order of preference: GRE, MCAT, USMLE, LSAT (or other standardized test scores deemed acceptable)
- Documentation of TOEFL results (from within the past two years) for international applicants*
- Application fee of $50.00 (checks should be made out to Case Western Reserve University)
- Resume/CV optional but encouraged
All application documents sent directly to the university should be addressed as follows:
Master of Public Health Program
Case Western Reserve University
10900 Euclid Avenue
Cleveland, OH 44106-4945
No application will be reviewed until complete. While the MPH Admissions Committee reviews applications on a rolling basis, the deadline for an application for fall semester is June 30th, and the deadline for an application for spring semester is November 15th.
International students may only apply for fall admission. Prospective dual degree students are expected to submit separate applications and gain admission to the MPH Program as well as the partner program of their choice. Dual degree students are independently reviewed by the MPH Admissions Committee and the partner program admissions committee. Admission to each program is pursued separately and independently.
- The MPH Admissions Committee will be looking for evidence of scholarship, service and commitment to public health as evidenced by:
- The contents of the Personal Statement and writing quality
- Scholastic achievement at previous schools
- Academic ability demonstrated through standardized test scores
- Compelling letters of recommendation describing relevant work and service experience and commitment to public health
*International applicants can have the TOEFL requirement waived if..
- The applicant has earned a Bachelor’s Degree, or higher, at a foreign institution where the medium of instruction is English (proof required).
- The applicant has earned a Bachelor’s Degree, or higher, in the U.S.
- The applicant has taken six semester hours of sophomore level English literature at a U.S. College or University.
The MPH Admissions Committee will also accept results from the IELTS test or completion of ELS language classes, level 112, with a cumulative GPA 3.0 or higher in lieu of the TOEFL.
