MPH Degrees: Students who wish to apply for admission to our graduate program for the 2021-2022 academic year are not required to take the GRE or submit a GRE score report as part of their application package. However, students may voluntarily submit GRE test scores and they will be reviewed as part of the holistic application consideration. The applications with GRE scores will not be given greater weight than those that do not include scores.
MS & PhD Degrees: GRE requirements for the MS and PhD degrees vary by department and can be found here.
Applications submitted to SOPHAS and the UCLA Graduate Division after the December 1st deadline may be considered, but will have reduced opportunities for admission, financial support, and housing.
The Fall 2021 application for admission will be available through the Schools of Public Health Application Service (SOPHAS) at www.sophas.org on August 18, 2020. The UCLA application will be available at www.ucla.edu in mid-September 2020.
The following three steps must be completed and submitted before your application is considered complete.
Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
