We are glad you are interested in applying to the Health Services and Outcomes Research (HSOR) program.
Most applicants to the master of science program have completed a doctorate degree in a health-related field (e.g., MD/DO, PhD, DNP, PharmD) or have a master's degree plus two to three years of research or relevant healthcare-related experience. Certificate applicants should have at least two to three years of research experience (graduate or professional).
Applicants who wish to enter the program to take courses for professional development are considered Non-Degree Special Students. These applicants should follow the instructions for the certificate program.

For the required Statement of Purpose, applicants should state their objectives for pursuing graduate study and describe their professional goals and qualifications.

Applicants should upload unofficial transcripts to the online application (unofficial transcripts are either electronic copies from the institution or digital scans of official transcripts). Transcripts should document all courses taken, grades received and (if applicable) degrees earned.
