Admissions
Apply online through the Schools of Public Health Application Service (SOPHAS) online application form.
Deadline
The priority deadline for the receipt of completed MS program applications is May 1.
Priority deadline for diversity funding is January 15.
Please take into account that it takes approximately four weeks from the date that a SOPHAS application is completed for the Department of Community Health and Health Behavior to receive the application.
Applications are considered for fall semester admission only; there are no spring semester admissions.
