MPH Information Sessions
The best way to get to know the Yale School of Public Health is to visit us. You may attend one of our Information Sessions on September 26, October 24 and November 28 or schedule a visit at your convenience. Either of these options will allow you to meet with faculty, current students and representatives from admissions and financial aid. We also encourage you to sit in on a class. Please contact our Admissions Office at ysph.admissions@yale.edu to arrange your visit.
If you are not able to visit Yale, please consider participating in a SOPHAS Virtual Fair on September 7 & 8 or November 9 & 10, 2011. This unique event will allow you to ask questions of our admissions staff from the convenience of your computer. Also, check our calendar to see when we might be in your area. We look forward to meeting you!
