Minimum Master's Degree Requirements
Applicants are often admitted to Master's degree programs before they have completed the requirements for a Bachelor's degree. However, before a student may earn a Master's degree through the School of Public Health-Bloomington, the institution granting the Bachelor's degree must send a transcript displaying the degree to the SPH Degree Administration Office. Transcripts may be sent electronically or via mail, to the following contact:
