Admissions Requirements
Our MHA program takes a personal approach, and we want you to learn as much from each other as from your professors. That’s why we consider the whole candidate in our admissions process. We are looking for MHA students who can think analytically, who can contribute to a team, who are motivated by personal growth and who can inspire others.
Applicants to the MHA program must hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and have a minimum of three years' post-graduate work experience.
The completed application requirements for the MHA program:

- Transcripts from your undergraduate program (and graduate, if applicable)
- Have electronic copies emailed directly from your undergraduate institution to gradadmissions@lipscomb.edu
- If you are having a hard copy mailed, have it sent to: Lipscomb University, ATTN: Graduate Admissions Office, One University Park Drive, Nashville, TN 37204

- GMAT or GRE score. MHA candidates with a 3.0 or higher undergraduate GPA who meet the professional work experience requirement may qualify for a test waiver. (Try our Sample GMAT.) Special consideration may be given to professional experience for those applicants whose GPA falls below the 3.0 minimum requirement.
