Applications are reviewed by the Health Studies Graduate Committee. All applicants must:
- submit a formal application to the Adelphi University Graduate Admissions Office
- show evidence of having completed an appropriate undergraduate course of study with a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or better to become a degree candidate to the program.
Provisional Status
Applicants with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 to 2.74 can apply for admission as provisional students. To attain permanent degree status, students must maintain a B or better average and/or at least three B range grades, with no grades less than a C in the first four core courses.
Three of the four core courses are mandatory. Students may choose from:
| HED 601 |
|
Contemporary Health Issues |
| HED 602 |
Research and Technology in Health Education |
| HED 603 |
Mind/Body Dimensions in Health |
| HED 607 |
Health Promotion for Children and Adolescents |
| HED 650 |
Health and Cultural Diversity |
Students who do not achieve the necessary GPA will not be allowed to continue in the program, unless they can present evidence of extenuating circumstances to the graduate committee.
Non-Matriculated Students
Students who do not have a satisfactory cumulative average, may be admitted as non-matriculated students if they demonstrate potential for success. These students may be allowed to take two of the following four courses:
| HED 601 |
|
Contemporary Health Issues |
| HED 602 |
Research and Technology in Health Education |
| HED 603 |
Mind/Body Dimensions in Health |
| HED 607 |
Health Promotion for Children and Adolescents |
| HED 650 |
Health and Cultural Diversity |
Students achieving a B or better average with no grade less than a C, may be reconsidered for entry with provisional status. Non-matriculated students who do not earn the required grades will not be allowed to register for any additional courses and will be advised to seek graduate study elsewhere. However, non-matriculated students may reapply to the program.
Department Policy on Grades
All students must have a 3.0 grade-point average in order to graduate.
Any student who receives a grade in the C range will be placed on departmental probation. Three C range grades or an F usually results in dismissal from the program unless the student can demonstrate extenuating circumstances to the Graduate Committee that would allow for a reconsideration of status.
