To be considered for admission to the master’s program, a student must:

Have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution or an international evaluation verifying the equivalent of a regionally accredited U.S. bachelor’s degree.
A cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better (4.0 scale) in all previous college work is desired.

To be considered for admission with a cumulative GPA below 3.0, applicants must submit a petition letter. This letter of appeal should be addressed to the Admissions Committee and mailed/emailed to the Graduate Admissions Office, 1530 Concordia West, Irvine, CA 92612.

Steps to Apply to the MPH Program

Submit an application and a non-refundable application fee. This fee is not required from students previously admitted to a graduate program at Concordia University Irvine.
Provide ONE official transcript from the college or university that shows a confirmed bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university. (Transcripts must be received in an official SEALED envelope.) If the applicant’s degree is from a non-U.S. institution, an official, detailed transcript evaluation from an approved international credential evaluation service that shows the equivalent of a regionally accredited bachelor’s U.S. degree must be provided. The Office of Graduate Admissions has approved IERF as an approved vendor for transcript evaluation. Information regarding this can be found at www.IERF.org.
Note: A student may be conditionally accepted for one term (2- course maximum) with unofficial transcripts. However, students are not permitted to register for subsequent terms until the official transcripts are received. A “hold” will be placed on a student’s account if official transcripts are not received. To remove a hold, contact the Bursar’s office located on the 1st floor of Grimm Hall, or at (949) 214-3075.
Submit a Statement of Intent: Applicants must submit a written essay (250-plus words) of personal, professional, and educational goals for becoming a healthcare administrator. Please discuss any healthcare experience (paid, volunteer, and/or internship).
Provide a minimum of one professional reference. An additional personal reference is optional (online or PDF form).
Submit a current professional resume. Students who are accepted into the MHA program will receive a formal decision letter via email.

Upon completion of all admission requirements, applicants will be contacted for a phone interview with the Program Director. Students who are accepted into the MPH program will receive a formal decision letter via email.
