What is the GRE?
This is a test that is designed to predict your success in graduate study. It is very much like the ACT or SAT given in high school to predict your success in college.
When and where is the GRE given?
Many Universities give the GRE. Check with a University close to you for test dates and fees.
When does the academic year begin?
Old Dominion University begins the academic year in the fall (August/September). Each academic year has three semesters - spring, fall and summer. However, you may enter the program at any semester.
How long will it take to finish the program?
Some of our students work while they are attending school, the length of time to complete the program is highly individual.
How much is tuition?
Tuition is based on per credit hour fees. There is a list of current tuition and archived fees and other fees.
Are there any scholarships available?
The School of Community and Environmental Health does have a limited number of Graduate Teaching Assistantships. These are awarded on a competitive basis each semester and availability is dependent on university and college resources.
