This program is offered by the Management of Public Services Program in cooperation with the College of Law. It is designed for students whose administrative careers require a detailed understanding of case law applicable to the health fields. Admission to the Health Law and Policy Program is selective. Application for admission may be made at any time during the year. To be considered for full admission, applicants must supply the following:
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution
- Undergraduate grade point average of at least 3.0 on a scale of 4.0.
- A resume.
- 2 – 4 years of paralegal or health-related work experience, or equivalent
formal schooling.
- Typewritten statement (2-5 pages) describing applicant's educational and
career goals, relevant work or volunteer experience, and any special
circumstances affecting past or prospective academic performance.
- Interview with program director.
GRE, LSAT, or GMAT scores are not required but may be submitted to strengthen an application.
An otherwise highly qualified applicant whose undergraduate grade-point average falls slightly below the stated criterion may seek conditional admission by submitting additional evidence of competence, including an extended writing sample concerning a relevant topic.
An English language examination is required for applicants who completed their undergraduate education outside the United States; a minimum TOEFL score of 590 plus an extended writing sample in English are needed for admission.
In addition to seeking students of proven academic ability, the Health Law and Policy Program purposefully strives to build an academic community that is racially, ethnically and religiously diverse.
Note: Students whose primary interest is in the study of law should consider application to the College of Law for admission to the Juris Doctor Program. The Health Law and Policy Program is not designed to serve as a preparatory program for law school admission.
