Applications to the MHA program must be submitted through the Graduate School's online portal called SLATE. Questions regarding the general application process should be directed to the UNC Charlotte Graduate School. Below, we summarize our expectations.

Applicants to the MHA program are expected to convey their demonstrated and potential capacity for verbal, quantitative and analytical reasoning through their transcripts, statement of purpose, and letters of recommendation. Applicants should consider potential gaps in such evidence when preparing their statements and soliciting letters of recommendation.
Applicants must provide transcripts from all institutions attended. Applicants may upload unofficial transcripts for review purposes, but offers of admissions will be contingent upon receipt of official transcripts.
Three letters of recommendation must be submitted from persons who can reflect upon the applicant's prior academic and/or professional performance and capability for serving as a health care administrator.
The applicant must provide a career goal statement and a current resume. The statement must address the considerations raised in item 1 above, making the case that the applicant can be successful if admitted into our program.
Per Graduate School Rules, international students are required to submit proof of English language proficiency by submitting official test score results from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).

For non-native English language speakers: official and satisfactory scores on the English language proficiency scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) are required. A minimum score of 83 on the Internet-based TOEFL or a minimum overall band score of 6.5 on the IELTS is required for admissions consideration.
