Because no two students are the same, neither are two applications the same. This is why the Brown University School of Public Health takes a holistic approach to our online Master of Public Health admissions process.

For this program, we actively seek a diverse student population from throughout the United States and the world. We also want to see applicants with at least two years of professional work experience. This allows you to enter the program with ideas about where you want to take your career, along with real-world expertise you can share with others. We do not require applicants to take the GRE, however, applicants are recommended to have previously completed at least one math course (preferably statistics).

To apply for online master of public health admission, you will need the following:

• Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended
• Letters of recommendation (3). Recommendations should come from professional references, and at least one recommendation from an academic reference is preferred if you have completed education within the last five years.

• Resume/CV showing at least two years of work experience
