Admissions

Students interested in being admitted to the Global Health and Population Studies (GHPS) program should first contact Misty Pacheco at the GHPS office (Biomed T-103; phone: (808)956-8836; email: globhlth@hawaii.edu).

There are two types of admission:

1. For those who are currently UH Manoa Graduate Students (Master's or Ph.D. level): Complete the Concurrent Graduate Certificate Application Form.

2. For those who want to pursue the certificate independently (without concurrently being enrolled in any graduate degree program in UH): You need to follow the application process for a new student through the Graduate Division. Since this is a graduate program, the minimum requirement for admission to the program is a Bachelor's Degree. Please see the Graduate Admissions website for more information. Applicants should submit their Statement of Objectives directly
to the GHPS program.

Credit transfer from a different university
The Graduate Division does not allow the transferring of credits earned at another institution to a graduate certificate program. See http://manoa.hawaii.edu/graduate/content/transfer-pbu-credits.
