A complete USU application is required, including a current CV/resume and brief statement of interest.
Applicants should possess, at minimum, a Baccalaureate degree from an accredited academic institution before matriculation at USU.
Candidates are evaluated for admission based on a variety of criteria. In addition to academic fitness for graduate work, applicants are assessed for how likely they are to use this education to further the tactical, operational, or strategic objectives of the DOD, or the broader U.S. government, with respect to global health engagement.
The program primarily enrolls students who are in the U.S. military active-duty or Reserves, Guard, or U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. We also invite applicants from the U.S. interagency (HHS, CDC, Department of State, etc.) in a “whole of government” effort to improve our collective participation in global health affairs. Students from partner-nation militaries apply to the program first through their country representative point-of-contact.
