Graduate School Fairs

Every fall, our Admissions team participates in regional graduate school fairs. Since Fall 2020, travel restrictions have prevented in-person participation in many of the fairs. However, we are committed to participating in upcoming Schools of Public Health Application Service (SOPHAS) Virtual Fairs and will attend the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS). Details about each of these events can be found below.

Accepted Students Day

Students who have been accepted to a graduate program in the College of Public Health will have the opportunity to attend a short orientation session, where they learn more about the degree program, curriculum, and other expectations for their degree (such as applied field experience, capstone, thesis or dissertation). After attending this event, accepted students will also have the unique opportunity to speak with an advisor about their own tentative schedule, and are cleared to register for courses. Please see our complete calendar of Accepted Student Days below.
