What materials do I need to submit?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n The Health Education and Promotion program recruits and admits students from a wide range of backgrounds, undergraduate degrees, occupations, and nationalities. There is no pre-requisite coursework needed for acceptance into the program.\u00a0 We have learned that a strong belief in health education and promotion, desire, and enthusiasm are the best predictors for success in the program and in future careers. All students must meet the Marymount University admissions requirements, submit official transcripts and either GRE or MAT scores, and complete departmental admissions requirements, including two letters of recommendation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n \n When will I be notified of acceptance into the program?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n Once a student\u2019s application is complete, it will be reviewed by the university and the Health Education and Promotion department.\u00a0 If all requirements are met, selected candidates will be invited for an interview, either in person or by phone.\u00a0 Acceptance into the program is typically decided within 1-2 weeks of completing the application.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n \n Will I have an advisor?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n Advising is one of many ways in which a student individually works with a faculty member from the department of Health and Human Performance.\u00a0 All students will be assigned an advisor who is a full-time faculty member in the department.\u00a0 Advisors typically meet with students at least once each semester to collaboratively develop and carry out an academic plan that meets the student\u2019s professional and personal goals.\u00a0 The university values the advising relationship as a continuous dialog from admission through graduation.\u00a0 This conversation encourages the student\u2019s participation in the university community, the growth of ethical awareness, the fulfillment of program requirements, and the advancement of a career in the field of health education and promotion.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n \n When can I start the program?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n The Health Education and Promotion program offers admission into the program on a rolling basis.\u00a0 Thus, students can start the program either in the Fall, Spring, or Summer semesters.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n | | |
