MPH in Public Health

You will need to request that all previously attended colleges and universities submit official copies of your transcript(s) directly to SOPHAS, regardless of whether you earned a degree from the institution.

Letters should be primarily academic in nature and should mention the your relationship to the recommender so that their observations can be put into the proper context.

If the school you attended is not in the United States (or in English-speaking Canada) you will instead need to provide an ICAP WES Course-by-course Evaluation of your foreign transcripts, also sent directly to SOPHAS.

You will need to select two of the following three prompts in your SOPHAS application and answer each in a short statement of 250 words or fewer. You are encouraged to use these prompts to provide information to the Admissions Committee that you have not already discussed in your statement of purpose. Option 1: Describe a time you felt challenged in an academic course. What strategies did you use to overcome that challenge? Option 2: Describe the process you used to teach yourself a new skill outside of an academic experience. Option 3: Describe a situation where either you were not treated fairly on the basis of your identity, or you personally observed such treatment for someone else. How did you handle it? Would you have done anything differently?

Your statement of purpose should highlight why you are interested in graduate education in public health and Tufts in particular. It should also address your career objectives and how this program will help you achieve those goals.
