How and where can I get admission without GRE and TOEFEL- ???
and what is the validity of ONLINE MPH programs???

help??
 
Hello,

There are many schools that will accept the MCAT exam in place of the GRE, or who will waive the GRE requirement for people who are already doctors (MD, DO, PhD, DDS, DVM, etc.), and a few others may consider your application without the GRE even if you are not a doctor. Most American universities do require the TOEFL for people whose native language is not English and who did not attend school/university in the U.S. I do not know if universities in other Anglophone countries also require the TOEFL.

As for online MPH degrees, there are a number of distance learning programs offered by some of the same schools that have campus-based MPH programs. Those universities whose campus-based programs are well-respected and accredited are your best bet for earning an MPH online that will be accepted and valued. I would stay away from the online programs from "universities" no one has heard of that offer every degree under the sun with very little coursework...these tend to be at worst fraudulent and at best not especially well-regarded.

Hope this helps a little.

Is a campus MPH degree equivalent to a distant learning MPH or is there some difference.
Does one get the same benefits and respect as the one holding a full time MPH degree?
