Graduation with Honors Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.8 or higher will receive a diploma inscribed with Highest Honors. Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.6 to 3.79 will receive a diploma inscribed with Honors. Nondegree-Seeking Application Procedures/Policy A nondegree-seeking student is one who wishes to take one or more courses in the Master of Health Science program and, at the time of application, does not intend to seek the Master of Health Science degree. Nondegree-seeking students must submit 1. a completed M.H.Sc. application form along with a $50, nonrefundable application fee 2. official college, certificate, and/or diploma-based transcripts from all undergraduate institutions attended, sent directly from the institution to EPS (This includes official documentation of receiving a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college/university. A minimum GPA of 2.75 on a 4.0 grading scale is required in the applicant’s bachelor’s degree.) 3. one letter of recommendation from an individual (other than a relative or friend), such as a supervisor or a community associate. Due to the limited number of seats available in the program, preference for admission and registration priority will be given to degree-seeking students. Nondegree-seeking students can take a maximum of 9 credits of M.H.Sc. coursework. Enrollment in these courses as a nondegree-seeking student does not guarantee acceptance into the M.H.Sc. program or any other NSU program. If, after taking classes in the M.H.Sc. program, a nondegreeseeking student decides to pursue the M.H.Sc. degree, the student must resubmit an application as a degree-seeking student. The applicant must meet ALL of the admissions requirements for the M.H.Sc. degree program. A nondegreeseeking student who, after taking M.H.Sc. courses, decides to apply as a degree-seeking student, may request transfer credit for courses taken as a nondegree-seeking student, in accordance with the credit transfer policy of the M.H.Sc. program. Course of Study The M.H.Sc. Program requires a minimum of 31 semester hours of study to be completed. This includes required core courses. All students are required to have individualized curriculum advisement upon acceptance. Transfer of up to 6 credit hours of acceptable graduate study is permitted upon approval. These graduate courses must have a grade of B or better and must be approved by the M.H.Sc. program director and dean of the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences. The dean reserves the right to require, in special cases, more than the minimum of 31 semester hours. Transferred courses cannot have been credited toward a previous degree. Classes are organized and based on accepted distance learning designs and formats. Continuous Enrollment The program requires students to enroll in at least one course per semester for the duration of their M.H.Sc. studies. If a student needs to take a semester off during the academic year, an Administrative Request Leave form shall be formally submitted to the program director and will be subject to approval. Continuing Services The M.H.Sc. program is designed to be completed in three years. Continuing services fees will be imposed after 36 months in the program. All students must finish the program within five years of the date of acceptance, or they will be dismissed. After the 36th month in the program, students will be enrolled in continuing services at a cost.
