Note:
The College of Public Health continually admits and graduates international students. Our international graduates make important global health contributions upon returning to their home communities. Federal financial opportunities are very limited for international applicants. The College requests that all international students are fully financially independent. As graduate assistantships and other internal financial opportunities become available, admitted students should apply at that time.
Please visit the Office of International Admissions for more information.
Applicants who have completed their Bachelor’s degree may register for courses in the College of Public Health prior to applying. This option applies to non-admitted students registering for core courses or selected courses with the instructor’s approval. This option also refers to:
Students opting for non-admitted registration may register for a maximum of 12 hours. Only grades of “B” or higher earned as a non-degree student are eligible for transfer after acceptance into a program. Please see the COPH Academic and Student Affairs Office to transfer in non-degree credits.
For more information regarding applying as a non-degree seeking student, please visit the Office of the Registrar website.
If you were previously a degree-seeking student in the College of Public Health and have become inactive or withdrew, you must re-apply and be admitted OR be reinstated into your program. Please speak to an advisor if you have questions about which process applies to you.
