                Requirements During the 4th Year

                1 item
                1. Students must receive a B- or higher in all PH courses and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 in order to progress to the 5th year and official entry into the MPH program. Students who do not achieve these requirements during the fourth year will not be permitted to continue to the 5th year of study and official entry into the MPH program. However, a grade of C or higher in PH courses will still apply to complete requirements for the BS Natural Science degree. Upon completion of the BS Natural Science or other selected degree, a student may then re-apply to the MPH program as a direct entry student and would need to retake any necessary courses and meet all MPH course grade requirements.
