Admission and Degree Requirements

You're now viewing the 2021-22 Catalog

Admission

The admissions criteria established by the university requires that an applicant hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution, comparable in standard and content to a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, with an overall scholastic average of B (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better—or its equivalent if the letter grade system is not used.

An international student whose post-secondary education is completed outside of the U.S. is expected to hold a degree with above average scholarship from a university or university-level institution.

Applicants must submit their application to both the centralized Schools of Public Health Application Service (SOPHAS) and UCLA Graduate Division. For additional admission requirements, see the school application web page.

Degree Requirements

Specific degree requirements vary according to the department and program. Refer to program requirements for UCLA graduate degrees.
