MPH programs that accept the MCAT?

February 2, 2015 1:33 PM

Can we compile a list of MPH programs (preferably in New England, but any suggestions welcome) that accept that MCAT in lieu of the GRE? I would also be interested in similar programs in public health that are not MPH per se. (Example: Boston University's School of Public Health offers an MS in Environmental Health.) Thanks!

This isn't the sort of question AskMe is going to be able to answer easily. I think your best bet would be to start with a list of MPH programs in New England, and visit their Web sites to get this information. I doubt any of us will be able to help you.

As memory serves there may be an MPH board over at the Student Doctor Network forums. You could try asking your question there...

Best answer: I would suggest you check out the public health programs and schools accredited by the CEPH in the New England states (there really aren't that many of them) and look at those schools' web sites for applicants. Here's the link. This will catch all schools that are accredited by the main accrediting body, including those offering non-MPH degrees.

Once you've gotten a list of programs together, I imagine some (or most) of them may be amenable to accepting the MCAT instead of the GRE if you specifically ask about it.
