Admissions
To apply for the doctoral program in Health Services and Policy Analysis, you must complete two on-line applications:
- the UC Berkeley Graduate Application for Admissions and Fellowship
- the SOPHAS application (Schools of Public Health Application Service)
Please follow the instructions on both sites carefully. Submitting an incomplete application will put you at a disadvantage in the admissions review process. You will need to complete the UC Berkeley Graduate Application first, as the SOPHAS application will require the 7-digit Doc. ID number that you will receive in a confirmation e-mail upon completing the UC Berkeley Graduate Application.
Please note that the academic year begins in the fall (mid-August); there are NO spring admissions or admission deferrals permitted.
The deadline to submit your completed application is December 1, 2009. Late applications will not be reviewed. Please note that you can save your application in stages rather than complete it in one session.
The Graduate Division of UC Berkeley has also developed a web site for Prospective Graduate Students which provides additional information.
