This session in the Professional Success in Public Health series will help you plan your graduate school search and help you decide which schools and programs to apply to. We will cover key criteria to consider when comparing schools and programs, and provide a template for a grad school application planning spreadsheet.

This session is primarily for students and alumnae who plan to apply to Public Health graduate programs within the next two years, but is open to all interested students. There are generally no prerequisite courses for Public Health graduate school (the one exception is that Epidemiology and Biostatistics programs sometimes want students to have taken Calculus). That means that you do not need to be a Public Health major, or even have taken a single public health course, to apply to graduate school in Public Health.
