MPH Admissions & Tuition
The Public Health programs at Tufts recognize the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our prospective and admitted students. Please reach out with any questions you may have about our application process and enrollment.
Tufts School of Medicine has announced that all programs are preparing to return to in-person instruction for fall 2021. Note that public health courses offered over the summer will continue to be held remotely.
The Public Health Admissions Committee at Tufts seeks candidates who have a deep interest in the field of public health and the drive to advance societal and environmental conditions that allow all members of society to enjoy the highest attainable standard of health. No specific undergraduate major, coursework, or work experience is required for admission; successful applicants demonstrate strong verbal and written communication skills, good quantitative and statistical abilities, and a mature understanding of public health concepts.
