Admission Requirements
Non-Matriculation Policy
Non-matriculated students may take a maximum of two (2) MPH courses (6 credit hours) before formally applying to the program. For those non-matriculated students who may have an interest in applying to the MPH program, it is suggested that any two of the following courses be taken:
Available Courses for Non-matriculated Students at Upstate Include:
- MPHP 601 Principles of Epidemiology
- MPHP 602 Principles of Biostatistics (math proficiency exam required)
- MPHP 605 Public Health Practice
Available Courses for Non-matriculated Students at SU Include:
- MPHP 603 Principles of Environmental Health
- MPHP 604 Social and Behavioral Dimensions of Public Health
- MPHP 606 Public Health Policy
- MPHP 607 Public Health Administration
Please Note: Non-matriculated students taking MPH courses at Upstate will pay the prevailing SUNY tuition rate. Non-matriculated students taking MPH courses at SU will pay the SU tuition rate
Non-matriculated students are not eligible for financial aid. All MPH courses have limited enrollment; priority and permission are given to matriculated students. The program determines which courses are open to non-matriculated students as well the number of students allowed in each course.
Non-matriculated to Matriculated Application Process.
If the non-matriculated student subsequently wishes to apply to the program, s/he must complete the formal MPH application process (detailed on website), and be accepted based on the delineated criteria. Credits from the courses taken as a non-matriculated student will apply to the student's MPH course credits. An application to become a matriculated student does not guarantee admission.
For information on how to register for courses as a Non-matriculated student, please call the MPH Program Office.
