The department accepts
applications beginning October 1 for admission in fall of the
following year. Application files are evaluated on a rolling
admission basis; therefore, the earlier an applicant submits all
of the materials described below, the earlier he or she will
receive an admission decision. For optimal consideration,
applicants are encouraged to apply much earlier than July 1.
Required application materials include:
1. Completed
Trinity application form for admission to graduate study.
Application
2. Completed Executive Program application form.
Executive Application for Admission
3. A $30.00 non-refundable application fee, payable by check to
Trinity University.
4. Official transcripts, not more than one year old, from all
colleges and universities previously attended.
5. Aptitude test scores from either the Graduate Record
Examination (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).
Official scores should be sent directly from the Educational
Testing Service. Scores over five years old are no longer valid,
and the test must be retaken. Applicants with a prior graduate
degree are not required to take the GRE or GMAT.
6. A résumé or autobiographical sketch detailing your
educational background and employment experience.
7. A brief statement of purpose (1-2 pages typed and
double-spaced) explaining your reasons for selecting a career in
health care administration.
8. Two letters of recommendation from individuals who are
familiar with your academic and/or employment performance.
All application materials should be submitted to:
Trinity University
Department of Health Care Administration
One Trinity Place, #58
San Antonio, Texas 78212-7200
Once an applicant's file is complete, the Admissions Committee
reviews it on an individual basis to determine if academic
criteria are met. Following this review, an invitation for
faculty interview will be determined. The admissions committee
makes a recommendation to the Chair, Health Care Administration
Department at Trinity after review of all application materials
and interview evaluations. The final step is to notify the
applicant by mail of his or her admission status.
The above information and further details about university
policies are available in the annual Trinity University Courses
of Study publication. Assuming an applicant meets the academic
criteria for graduate admission, Trinity does not discriminate
in admissions on the basis of race, color, age, religion, sex,
marital status, national origin, or disability, veteran or
disabled veteran status. Any questions or complaints relative to
discrimination should be referred to the Director of Personnel
Services. The Section 504/Americans with Disabilities Act
compliance officer is the Associate Vice President for Fiscal
Affairs. Questions or complaints relative to facilities,
services, and accessibility should be referred to the Office of
Fiscal Affairs.
