Rollins School of Public Health-Admission and Tuition

Applying to Rollins

Minimum requirements for admission include satisfactory completion of a four-year baccalaureate degree or its equivalent and a strong interest in a public health career. Work or academic experience in the health field is highly desirable, but not required for our MPH/MSPH programs. Rollins participates in the SOPHAS common application system for all of its degrees and programs except for the PhD program. Students interested in earning a PhD must apply through the Laney Graduate Schools at Emory University.

MPH/MSPH application requirements include:

Complete and verified application through SOPHAS at sophas.org
Transcripts (WES evaluations for international transcripts)
Two letters of recommendation
Personal statement
List of research/work/volunteer/honors experiences

The GRE is not required for admission to most of our academic programs and will not be considered as part of the application for admission. The Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics (BIOS) offers a GRE optional policy. Students applying to BIOS can submit a GRE score for consideration. The GRE score must be submitted at the same time as the application for admission.

DrPH application requirements include MPH/MSPH requirements plus:
