Financial Aid

All students, regardless of circumstances, are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This allows students to be eligible not only for student loans, but potentially other financial assistance as well. Please see information on Tuition and Fees for information and relavent links.

Transfer/elective Credits

MPH students may transfer up to 9 credits into their program to be applied toward elective credits*. If the courses for which you wish to receive transfer/elective credit are not already on the list of preapproved elective courses, you will need to fill out and submit a transfer credit approval form to your advisor.
