Application Instructions

Each degree program requires a separate application. You may apply to each simultaneously or you may, during the first year in one of the degree programs, apply to the other. You will be asked on the Department of Epidemiology application and the Evans School application if you are applying to a concurrent degree program. Evaluations and admission decisions are made without consultation between the Department of Epidemiology and the Evans School.
