This central application allows prospective graduate students to apply to multiple accredited schools of public health.

Send GRE scores to SOPHAS Code 5268. GRE is strongly recommended but not required for the other PhD programs. Applicants may voluntarily submit their Graduate Record Examination test scores to help the admissions committee better understand academic readiness for the program.

Selected applicants being considered for the Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) concentrations, PhD in Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Master of Health Administration (MHA) may be required to take part in an in-person or virtual interview. Program administrators will contact you directly to schedule an interview should you be selected.

TRANSCRIPTS - Enrolling students must have received a bachelor’s degree (master’s for most doctoral programs) from an accredited college or university. Transcripts are required from all colleges and universities attended, whether or not credit was earned or the program was completed.

STUDY ABROAD CREDITS - Applicants that completed a study abroad experience as part of their post-secondary education do not need to submit a transcript from the study abroad institution nor obtain a course-by-course foreign transcript evaluation if the grade appears on your official transcript.
It is important to only include institutions in which the degree was earned on the SOPHAS or HAMPCAS application.

The Office of Admissions & Enrollment reserves the right to request a foreign transcript for applicants.
