As part of the School of Global Public Health’s rigorous PhD in Public Health  program, you’ll balance the theoretical and the practical through methodological preparation that is tailored specifically for your unique interests and goals.

If you’re ready to work side-by-side with an interdisciplinary network of venerated faculty and research experts from across NYU’s global sites, then we encourage you to apply to the PhD program today. Learn more about what we look for , how to apply  and more below.

Who Should Apply?

All applicants to the PhD in Public Health must hold an undergraduate or first professional degree from an accredited institution. We suggest, but do not require, that you hold either a Master of Public Health degree or equivalent graduate coursework to apply. If you do not have these credentials, you can complete the required coursework in the first year of the PhD program.

We also strongly recommend that you have some amount of applicable work and/or research experience related to public health. Although this is not a formal requirement for admission, successful applicants will usually have completed at least 2-3 years of work or research in a relevant area.

How Are Applications Reviewed?

The review process for the PhD program is holistic, taking into account all factors and experiences in a prospective student’s application and reviewing your overall potential for success in doctoral public health studies and future careers. Our review of applications examines the following characteristics:

Prior academic performance : Usually at least a cumulative 3.3 GPA in prior undergraduate and graduate programs and have received A or A- grades in quantitative courses

Work and research experience : Usually 2-3 years of relevant experience, including professional, research, publications, internships or volunteer

Statement of purpose : Evaluated for evidence that the applicant understands the program and the field, can clearly articulate professional and academic goals, and has carefully considered how the program will help them achieve those goals

Writing sample : Help the admissions committee understand the applicant’s critical and analytical skills, facility in writing, and potential as a future researcher

Recommendations : Evaluated for the extent to which recommenders indicate the applicant’s potential for advanced graduate training and career in public health

Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores are not required to apply to the PhD program.

Personal interview (if invited)

TOEFL scores from applicants for applicants whose native language is not English and who have not completed a previous degree at an accredited U.S. college or university; A minimum score of 100 on the internet-based test is required.

Faculty Mentors

Doctoral applicants are encouraged to list potential faculty mentors in the application.  Please note that if you choose to identify potential mentors, they should be drawn from the  list of primary GPH faculty .

All applications are due on December 1st. The NYU PhD in Public Health only accepts applications for fall enrollment.

How To Apply

For an application to be considered complete, all of the following application materials must be received by the deadline:

The completed SOPHAS application

Personal statement

Resume or curriculum vitae

Official transcripts from each post-secondary institution attended, with English translations if applicable

Three letters of recommendation

Writing sample of 5 to 15 pages

TOEFL scores from all applicants whose native language is not English and who did not receive the equivalent of a US bachelor's degree at an institution where English is the primary language of instruction. Applicants holding or completing only a graduate or professional degree from an institution where English is the primary language of instruction are still required to submit a TOEFL score unless the graduate program was four or more years in duration. When ordering test reports from ETS, you must include the proper institution code for the NYU GIPH (8752).

NO GRE IS REQUIRED FOR APPLICATION TO THE PHD PROGRAM

The Department of International Health could change its name to Global Health. But it’s important not to. While nationalism can be a barrier to health equity, nations play a critical role in public health – many solutions are more local than global.  Read more.

Doctoral program: December 1 MSPH, Human Nutrition – Dietitian: December 1 MSPH programs, except for the Registered Dietitian program: January 15  MHS: June 1. BA/MSPH program with Public Health Studies at JHU: July 1

For more updated information, please check the School’s How to Apply page . 

• Baccalaureate-level degree in a related field
• The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) for MSPH and PhD programs (optional, but highly recommended for the 2023/2024 academic year)
• The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) for the MHS in Global Health Economics program (optional, but highly recommended for the 2020/2021 academic year)
• Statement of purpose and objectives
• Official transcripts from all institutions attended

• IELTS Academic – minimum score: 7
• Duolingo English Test – minimum composite score: 130
• Pearson Test for English (PTE Academic) – minimum score: 68
• Three letters of recommendation

For all full-time master’s and doctoral programs administered by the Department of International Health, GRE scores will be optional, but highly recommended for applicants to the 2023/2024 academic year. The Department has elected to change our policy on standardized test scores in an effort to assist potential applicants who may have difficulty taking standardized tests because of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you already have valid GRE scores we encourage you to include them as part of your application; however, your application will still be reviewed without them. If you do not have GRE scores but instead have MCAT scores available, we encourage you to include them in your application. If you have any questions about your application please contact us at [email protected] or [email protected].

The GRE is now offering a  test-at-home option  in nearly all locations where the traditional internet-based test is offered. Results are available in 10 to 14 days.

The admissions committee looks at every application holistically. We take into account previous grades, types of courses taken, GRE scores, personal statement, letters of recommendation, match to program area and faculty interests, and experience. Because public health is an applied discipline, experience in low- and middle-income country settings—such as that obtained through the Peace Corps or Fulbright—is viewed favorably by the admissions committee. We also recognize that the situation of global uncertainty and disruption in response to COVID–19 may affect test-taking ability, and we will take that into consideration in admissions decisions. We encourage you to do your best on the GRE and focus on other aspects of your application which are equally important to the admissions process.

The School's Application Instructions are available  here .

We hope that this extension will give you enough time to get your transcripts and letters of recommendation to us by the deadline. If you think it will take longer, please contact us with your concerns. T he Bloomberg School Office of Admissions allows 14 days for applicants to gather any missing documentation. 

For our master's degree progams that have reopened admissions and extended deadlines this year, we are committed to a rapid turn-around, providing an admissions decision within 7-10 days of receiving a complete application.

• Master's applicants should have at least two academic recommendations out of three. The third can be professional.
• Doctoral students can have a mix of academic and professional recommendations, and with permission from the academic manager, can submit a fourth letter of recommendation if appropriate.

The Department awards a limited number of full-tuition scholarships to incoming master's students each year in a competitive process. During the second year, after completing a minimum of 64 course credits and during the internship stage of the program, the Department automatically provides a 75% scholarship to all master's students; students are responsible for the remaining 25% of the tuition. Research and teaching assistantships may be available that can support students in selected areas. Financial support for internships varies depending on the sponsoring organization

All full-time PhD students will receive the following support for the first four years of the program: full tuition, individual health insurance, University Health Services clinic fee, vision insurance and dental insurance. By year 2 of their PhD, students must have identified and be assigned to a research or training grant.

The MSPH is a department-based degree program designed for students who are looking to begin a career in global public health. It provides a foundation in core public health disciplines while allowing students to develop more specialized skills in a particular area of interest by choosing from one of our  four program areas.  The MSPH includes a practicum requirement of a minimum of four months full time.

The MPH is a schoolwide degree program designed to provide students with broad-based education in the areas of population health and disease, as well as training to work with a variety of public health issues. Applicants must have a minimum two years of experience in a health field or public health prior to applying.

The two degrees are equivalent in terms of their level of recognition and respect in the field of public health.

The PhD prepares students to become independent investigators in academic and non-academic research institutions, and emphasizes contributions to theory and basic science. Applicants must apply to one of the Department's four program areas.

The DrPH degree is no longer being offered through the Department of International Health. It is being redesigned and will be offered as a schoolwide degree for a start date of June 2017. For more information, please read about  the DrPH program here . The DrPH is designed for students with experience in the practice of public health who have already earned their MPH or an equivalent degree and want to further prepare themselves for leadership positions at federal agencies, state and local health departments, nongovernmental organizations, universities, and health care institutions. 

In general, GRE scores for most students admitted average the 70 percentile in all three areas, with the average somewhat lower for MSPH students and higher for PhD and DrPH students. Undergraduate GPAs average 3.25 for MSPH students, and graduate GPAs average 3.50 for PhD and DrPH students.

It should be noted that no one factor dominates the admissions decision. The admissions committee looks at applications holistically. Factors examined include previous grades, types of courses taken, GRE scores, personal statement, letters of recommendation, match to track and faculty interests, and experience. Experience in one developing country is viewed favorably, especially for admission to the PhD program.

TOEFL scores have to be a minimum of 100 in internet-based tests.

IELTS scores must be a minimum of 7.

Visit the International Applicant Information  website  for details. Application requirements for the Department are also posted. Experience in international developing countries is viewed favorably, especially for admission to the PhD program.

We are currently not open to visitors due to COVID-19

The MSPH in Global Disease Epidemiology and Control: a degree in hard sciences highly preferred

The MSPH in Health Systems: a degree in biological or health sciences or alternatively in management or social sciences

The MSPH in Social and Behavioral Interventions: a degree in the health or social sciences

The MSPH in  Human Nutrition – Dietitian track requires all students to have an undergraduate major in a hard science, health, or psychology. It also requires students to take 7 additional courses prior to applying (up to 2 of the courses can be done after submitting the application). For more information, please see the  Registered Dietitian page.

The PhD in GDEC, Health Systems, and SBI require a prior master’s degree.

The PhD in Human Nutrition requires a minimum of 1 year of post-baccalaureate such as a master's degree, a dietetic internship, medical training, or other relevant work experience.

If you received a degree from an English-speaking university, you can request a TOEFL score waiver from the Academic Program Manager by email. We will review your degree and university to determine whether you will need to submit a TOEFL score or you qualify for a waiver.

The Department does not offer these options for any degree programs. While some courses are available through the Web, the programs require that students be enrolled full-time and be in residence. However, the MPH and DrPH programs offer part-time/Internet-based options.

You can enroll in these Institutes but you will have to pay additional tuition for each course. Your regular year tuition does not cover the cost of courses in these Institutes.

What is the deadline for applying to the PhD in Population Health Sciences (PHS)?

The application for fall 2024 admissions will be available by September 2023, and the application is due by applicants by 5:00 PM ET on December 1, 2023 – no exceptions.

Am I required to take the GRE?  Can I substitute another test for the GRE?

The GRE remains an optional component of our formal, holistic application to the PHS PhD.  However, it is still recommended that the applicant take the GRE and submit their scores along with the application.

If you should choose not to submit GRE scores, the faculty will still consider your application; however, it is incumbent upon the applicant to provide support of higher-level statistical capability either in prior coursework or in a research/employment capacity.

Can I apply to the program if I am an international student? Are there any special requirements?

Yes, international students can apply to this program with the same application and funding parameters of U.S. students.

Am I required to have a TOEFL or IELTS score if I am a non-native English speaker?

Yes. Our program, like all Griffin GSAS doctoral programs, accepts TOEFL scores and/or IELTS scores if an applicant’s native language is not English and if they do not hold the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree from an institution at which English is the primary language of instruction.

Please view the Griffin GSAS webpage on English Language Proficiency for more detailed information on test score eligibility and timelines.

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), Box 899, Princeton, NJ 08541. When requesting official score reports, indicate the receiving institution as Harvard University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Code 3451.

Can I indicate more than one Field of Study on my application?

Upon starting the application, you will indicate your desired Field of Study as your major area of academic work. At a later point in the application, you will be asked to indicate an interest in another Field of Study, if relevant.

How do my references provide their letters of recommendation?

For all information re: letters of recommendation, please visit the following web link: https://gsas.harvard.edu/admissions/completing-your-application/letters-recommendation

Please note: At least one letter should be from a faculty member at the last school you attended as a full-time student unless you have been out of school for more than five years. Substitutions for faculty recommendations may include work associates or others who can comment on your academic potential for graduate work.

What kinds of backgrounds do entering students typically have?

The majority of PHS students have a distinguished undergraduate record and excellent performance record in any graduate work undertaken. Although a previous graduate degree is not required, students in any of our Fields of Study have successfully completed coursework in introductory statistics or quantitative methods.

It is preferable that all students entering the program have taken introduction to biostatistics coursework prior to the time of admission. Such background information will be considered upon application review.

In general, applicants must demonstrate strong enthusiasm and ability for rigorous pursuit of scientific knowledge in public health. Preference will be given to applicants who have either some relevant work experience or graduate work in the chosen Field of Study after completion of a bachelor’s degree.

If I have a master’s degree, will that help me get into the program?

Although it is not required for the admission, a master’s degree in public health or a related field may give your application a stronger standing.

What prior coursework, experience, or other qualifications are important?

Typical successful applicants have taken graduate-level coursework related to quantitative methods, introductory statistics, biostatistics, and epidemiology, or have some relevant work experience in the chosen Field of Study.

Do I need to have published a peer-reviewed research article to be accepted into the program?

No. You do not have to have published a peer-reviewed article to be accepted into this program.

Is work experience required for admission?

Work experience is not required to be accepted into the program.

Should I contact PHS Field of Study faculty to discuss my interest in the program? Am I supposed to find my academic adviser before applying for the admission?

You are not required to contact faculty or to find an academic advisor as part of your application to this program. However, if you have questions about faculty members’ current research projects, it is acceptable for prospective students to reach out to faculty directly to ask about research interests and the faculty member’s availability to be a mentor in upcoming years.

We encourage you to review faculty members’ websites and publication listings, and to contact the individual academic administrator for the department affiliated with the Field of Study in which you are interested as they might also have further information about specific faculty.

Is there a minimum GRE score for PHS acceptance? What is the minimum GPA required? What is the average GRE score and/or GPA you expect for your entering cohort?

There is no minimum GRE score or GPA formally required to enter the program. The program is competitive, and applicants usually have scores on the higher end if submitted. Each applicant, however, is considered based on their holistic credentials, which are not limited to just GRE scores and grades.

Average entering PHS student GRE scores:

GRE – Verbal: 162

GRE-Quantitative: 163

GRE – Analytic: 4.5

Is admission based on an entry test and/or interview or based on academic history?

Applications are reviewed based on academic credentials (coursework), GPA, GRE, TOEFL, prior research and work experience, statement of purpose, recommendations, and a writing sample. No other entry test or interview is required.

Are there any specific Field of Study prerequisites to be accepted into the program?

No. The application requirements are the same for all Fields of Study.

If I apply for the PhD in Population Health this fall, would it also be possible for my application to be considered for the Harvard 65 credit MPH program?

No. The PHS application must go through Griffin GSAS. The application to MPH program must be submitted separately according to the MPH Admissions requirements of Harvard Chan. The PhD application cannot be used for application to any master’s program at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health.

May I apply jointly to this program and to another program at Griffin GSAS?

The Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences does not recommend submission of more than one application. However, if you choose to submit multiple applications (up to a limit of three total in your lifetime), the applications may not share any item. Each application must be unique, containing a separate statement of purpose for each program applied to, as well as separate uploads to each application of transcripts, recommendations, and test scores through the Griffin GSAS Admissions portal.

Does the program accept students who are also in medical school or another professional program?

Applications are allowed from students already enrolled in medical school/rotations, but applicants must be aware that PHS is a full-time residency program, which will necessitate negotiate by any student with their prior program. The first two years of the program, especially, must be completed in-person at the University.

The Fields of Study appear similar, if not identical, to those listed for MPH degrees. Are there differences in the courses/content/ emphasis between the Fields of Study for a PhD student versus an MPH student?

There will be some intersection in course requirements. However, students in PHS will be required to take some doctoral-level courses that are only offered for Population Health Sciences students and which are geared towards more rigorous research training.

If I completed a master’s in one area at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and then I want to do a PhD with a different Field of Study, will I be able to waive any courses?

Waivers of the courses completed during a master’s program will be considered individually on a case-by-case basis following admission to the program.

If I’m admitted, can I defer my admission?

Deferrals are handled by Griffin GSAS on a case-by-case basis, and the final decision lies with the program.

The Griffin  Graduate School of Arts and Sciences urges programs not to defer admitted students except under the most unusual circumstances.

Will I have a chance to talk with someone before I decide on to accept an offer of admission?

Certainly. After you receive a letter of acceptance, there will plenty of opportunities for contact with current PHS students and alumni, PHS and Field of Study administration teams, and Harvard faculty.

Can the program be done on a part-time basis?

No. This is a full time residential doctoral program.

If I am admitted, is there a certain grade that I must attain to continue in the program?

Yes. All students are expected to maintain a grade of ‘B’ or better, although, a ‘B+’ average is expected.

Would I be allowed to switch my Field of Study after starting the program?

No. After enrolling in the program, students are not allowed to change their Field of Study.

How much of the coursework is required class time as compared to viewing it online?

Most of the courses currently offered at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Griffin GSAS, and at Harvard University overall are face-to-face courses. Therefore, PHS students are required to be present in class.

How interdisciplinary is this program? Is there substantial collaboration between Fields of Study or do students mainly stay within their own Field of Study?

There are PHS program-wide courses that all students, regardless of Field of Study, are required to take. These courses involve significant interaction among PHS students. In addition, students can do research with faculty affiliated with departments across all five fields, as well as choose faculty members from across the five Fields of Study, other Harvard schools, and other departments to participate on dissertation committees.

The program-wide required c ourses and credits are described here .

Are program-wide courses taught by faculty from the Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, School of Public Health, or both?

PHS required courses are mostly taught by faculty from the Harvard Chan School of Public Health, but all PHS students have the option of taking courses at no extra expense at all thirteen of Harvard’s schools – as well as MIT, Tufts, and Brown Universities.

What is the annual cost of attending your program?

All students (both U.S. and international) receive a multi-year funding package, which includes full tuition, fees, health insurance, and a stipend. The stipend is competitive with the amount offered by most other schools of public health. Applicants are also strongly encouraged to apply for external grants and fellowships, particularly for years three and beyond. Students are also required to complete a 12.5 credit (total) teaching fellowship/research assistant requirement in any Field and at any point of their four years in the program. Any TF/RA work beyond the 12.5 credits can also be paid on top of the stipend rate, according to all work-related laws/requirements.

What are my other funding opportunities?

• Griffin GSAS Funding and Aid Info
• Public Health Online Financial Aid Info.

Are there healthcare benefits offered to admitted PHS students?

Yes. Every graduate student at Harvard receives health insurance. You can learn more about these health care benefits via this weblink: https://hushp.harvard.edu/

As an international student, will I be funded?

Yes. All admitted PHS students who remain in solid academic standing, regardless of country of origin, are guaranteed four years of funding, which includes a monthly stipend, tuition, fees, and health coverage.

What is the difference between the PhD program and the DrPH program?

The PhD in Population Health Sciences offers training that is more geared towards an academic career track, while the DrPH program is more oriented towards public health practice and policy careers.

How many students will be in each cohort?

There are about 40 new PHS students each year across all five Fields of Study.

How will the program create a sense of cohesiveness across a cohort?

All first year PHS students are required to take a year-long methods course that encourages interaction and builds a common methodological and analytical vocabulary across the cohort. Additionally, we offer a regular (every three weeks or so) seminar at which students are expected to attend. Students in different Fields of Study will have many intra-Field opportunities for collaboration with each other as well. We also offer numerous regularly scheduled cohort- and program-wide events and social hours to build camaraderie, (ex. social hours, Red Sox game, canoeing, movies, theatre, etc.)

Are students in this program encouraged to be involved on campus, such as participating in symposiums, seminars, or graduate student organizations?

Our PHS students are definitely encouraged and choose to be involved on campus, engage in interdisciplinary opportunities with mentors and colleagues outside of the PhD program, and participate in a variety of organizations, workshops, conferences, etc.

Can the dissertation-writing phase be done remotely?

Generally, most students remain in residence for the duration of the PhD program. Petitions can be made, however, for special circumstances on a case-by-case basis.

Students admitted to our degree programs are automatically considered for any available scholarships, traineeships, or graduate assistant positions in the department. However, students are also encouraged to explore their own funding opportunities. Unlike many departments, we do not have a policy of admitting only students for whom we have initial funding. We do our best to help students finance their education and are most successful with providing funding to PhD admits. Potential funding opportunities are considered during the admissions review process but funding decisions continue to be made throughout the spring and summer.

It has been found that if you are not offered or do not find funding the first year and you do well in the program, there is a good chance you will be able to find funding for the subsequent year(s).

International applicants must submit a financial statement to the Graduate School which shows sufficient funds to completely support themselves.

The most common forms of funding support for our students are  assistantships and fellowships offered on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. There is no central clearinghouse for posting and filling the many assistantship opportunities that exist across campus. Some openings are filled through a formal application process, through informal networking channels or by departmental/faculty initiative. Students may wish to consider some of the following approaches when seeking assistantships:

• Check all sources of postings for campus positions, including  The UW Student Job Center , the GradConnections newsletter  and listservs.
• Network with faculty, mentors, staff support people (such as Departmental Assistants, Center Directors, office managers, etc.), and other graduate students in areas where you may possess appropriate skills, teaching experience, and/or technical expertise. Such individuals [e.g. faculty] are most likely to be aware of opportunities available to admitted PhD students . In addition, they might be aware of the colleagues’ needs or new grant opportunities. They may have other ideas to guide you in your search.
• Do not limit yourself to the Department of Population Health Sciences. Our students frequently possess experience, training, and expertise that may satisfy needs for appointments in other departments/centers.
