Master of Health Education
The
Master of Health Education Program is designed for allied health and related
health professionals. The program is interdisciplinary and prepares individuals for
careers as academic or clinical educators and more highly skilled practitioners.
While the program does required completion of a project, the program does
not require completion of a thesis. A
Graduate Record Examination score of 1000 (combined verbal and quantitative) is
required for admission.
The Master
of Health Education is primarily designed for individuals with a bachelors
degree and national respiratory therapy credentials, however, opportunity exists
for selected students with a non-professional bachelor degree to concurrently
enroll in the Bachelor of
Science Traditional 2+2 Transfer Program. Students
eligible for this program will enroll in both the undergraduate and graduate
programs and must meet entry requirements for both schools.
Upon successful completion of the Traditional 2+2 requirements, the
student will be awarded a Bachelors Degree in Respiratory Therapy and will be
eligible to sit for the national credential exams.
The student will continue in the graduate program and will be awarded a
Master of Health Education Degree upon completion of all the School of Graduate
Studies requirements. Completion of the MHE program will typically take 2 to 3
semesters beyond the Traditional 2+2 Program.
Admission
to the School of Graduate Studies is subject to the discretion of the Dean,
following recommendation by the Department of Respiratory Therapy Admissions
Committee. A personal interview is required by the department, following receipt
of all application materials. Students may be admitted to begin studies at the
beginning of any semester. The application deadline is six weeks prior to the
beginning of the term in which the student wishes to matriculate.
