PS The statement of purpose is the most important aspect of the application. It should be 2-3 pages in length and should address directly the goals of the Global Health Policy and Management program. In addition to highlighting previous academic and professional experiences, it should also detail the reasons for applying to the MS program and include an in-depth discussion of your career goals following completion of the program.The statement of purpose must be submitted in paragraph format, not as a bulleted list. Include your name and proposed program on each page of your statement of purpose.The statement of purpose must be submitted electronically when you complete the application. Documents should be saved on your computer and uploaded in PDF format. This is preferable for the admission committee. If you are unable to upload documents in PDF format, you may also use .doc, .docx, and .rtf. Other file types will be unreadable. Please do not email us or mail to us a copy of your uploaded documents. Doing so will delay the processing of your application. CV The resume or curriculum vitae should detail your professional and academic background as well as highlight relevant skills and accomplishments. The Heller School does not place limits on the length of your resume/CV, but applicants should make every effort to present relevant information neatly and succinctly. Fee The Application Fee is US $55.00. This fee is waived for applicants from developing nations and current or returned Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, City Year, and other service organization volunteers. RL Three letters of recommendation are required. The first letter should be a professional assessment from a supervisor at the institution where you are employed or were recently employed. The second letter should be an academic assessment from a former professor or advisor. The third letter may be either academic or professional. An academic letter, however, is not required if you last attended university more than ten years ago. Transcript A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution in the United States or a comparable degree from a foreign academic institution is required.We must receive transcripts from every university, college, or graduate institution you have attended. Transcripts should show the name of each course and the grade received, as well as the year/term in which it was taken. We encourage you to submit scanned, electronic copies of your transcript with your online application to ensure the quickest review.

Applicants may not translate their own transcripts.
