Apply to MHA Program

Thank you for your interest in the Master of Health Administration (MHA) program! We are delighted that you have chosen our award winning, CAHME-accredited program at the University of Memphis.

Because GRE testing has been interrupted this Spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the School of Public Health is waiving the GRE requirement for the Fall application cycle. If you have taken the GRE, we strongly recommend that you submit these results, as they may be beneficial to the review process. If you are an international applicant, and have not yet taken the IELTS/TOEFL, please contact us so that we can advise you of the next steps.
