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.

Admission to the Master of Health Education Program requires direct inquiry to the School of Graduate Studies, CB-1801, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, GA 30912, or you may contact R. Randall Baker, PhD, RRT, Associate Professor and Interim Departmental Chairperson, at rabaker@mcg.edu.
