In addition to the University's minimum requirements and those listed above, all applicants are expected to submit the program application through the Schools of Public Health Application Service (SOPHAS). Applicants should first fill out a SOPHAS application and then complete and pay for the UCLA Graduate Education application.

Prior academic or professional experience in public health or a related field is not required as a condition of admission. Applicants are reviewed by the department that corresponds with the concentration offered by the program. Applicants requiring assistance in deciding on a concentration should speak either to a department administrator or to staff in the Student Services Office.

The Health Management concentration has no additional admissions requirements.

An accelerated one-year option is available for applicants with prior doctoral-level training (MD, JD, PhD, or equivalent). The exact length of the program and the nature of the placement, if any, depend on the student's background.
