Admissions

Preface:

All applicants must follow the application procedures established by their appropriate service's regulations. For specific information about services' procedures, contact your respective career activities/education office(s).

U.S. military officers, Department of War Civilians, and VA employees must first be approved by their respective services to attend the Army-Baylor Program. Attendance to the Army-Baylor Program will likely result in an individual additional service obligation.

For example, U.S. Army officers serving as Army Nurse, Medical Service, Medical Specialist or Veterinary officer must apply and be selected through the Long-Term Health Education Training.

Admissions Criteria:

• Federal Service employment and approval from the respective service for attendance
• Candidates must hold either a baccalaureate degree or a first professional degree from an accredited college or university acceptable to Baylor University.
• A minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 (or a 3.0 from the most recent academic degree).
• A waiver for a GPA below the threshold will be considered on a case-by-case basis for both degree options.

Standardized Test Scores:

Standardized test scores (GRE/GMAT) are currently optional for admission to the Army Baylor MHA/MBA Program.  However, scores may still be required by your service or branch. Because scores are not required by our program, no test waivers are necessary.  If you choose to submit your score, it will be reviewed as supplementary material to support your application.

Our program's benchmark for submitted test scores to support application:

• Waivers for standardized test scores will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
• Executive Clinical Leadership (ECL) track (compressed into one-year) must have previous clinical experience
• Submit the required documentation to the Army-Baylor Program Administration Office:
  • Officer record brief (U.S. Army Officers) or equivalent for other services
  • Resume (civilian-style)
  • Purpose Statement
  • Official transcripts from accredited degree-granting institutions. Transcripts for transfer credits are not required.
  • Test scores (if sending them) for the GMAT or GRE

The respective services often select officers for the MHA degree track. If any of these officers are interested in pursuing the dual MHA/MBA, please contact the Administrative Office.

The Army-Baylor Program maintains an admissions committee to process any waivers into the MHA or MHA/MBA program. The admissions committee considers a holistic view of the candidate using the required documentation to include compelling purpose statements in their waiver recommendation to the Program Director. The Program Director may schedule interviews as necessary.

Once you are cleared for admission by the Army-Baylor Program Administration Office, the Training Administrator will send admitted students information on finalizing the application process with Baylor University. Please do not submit documents to Baylor University until instructed.

If you have any questions about the military approval process, please email the Training Administrator, Ms. Rene Pryor, at rene.l.pryor.civ@army.mil.
