Application Deadlines
Early Action Program for MPH applicants only:
To receive consideration for first-round School of Public Health scholarships, applications must be completed, with all required supporting documentation, by Dec. 1. Applicants meeting the Dec. 1 priority deadline will be automatically considered for a range of School of Public Health scholarships. Applications submitted/completed after Dec. 1 will be given scholarship consideration based on the availability of funds.
The Early Action program for the Master of Public Health (MPH) guarantees applicants who submit their completed application by December 1, an admission decision on or about February 15. In addition to their admission status, applicants will be informed about any merit scholarship award offers. All decision notifications will be sent via email.
Early Action is non-binding, non-restrictive. Students choosing to apply by the Early Action deadline need to submit their application materials earlier in the process but will receive an admission decision sooner than Regular Decision applicants.
Scholarships continue to be awarded as they are available after the Early Action deadline.
Deadlines by Program
To meet a stated deadline using the online centralized application services SOPHAS, applicants must submit their application with supporting documents, and pay the application fee no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
Note: We encourage applicants to submit their application and send supporting documentation at least two weeks before the stated deadlines to allow for any issues/problems that may arise.
