Welcome to the Tulane University School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine Admissions website. We are pleased that you are visiting us on-line! We are a diverse and multicultural community of students, faculty and staff who are committed to improving global health throughout the world. Founded in 1912, the School is the oldest School of Public Health in the United States and the only institution offering the Master of Public Health and Tropical Medicine degree. In our programs, you may choose from master’s and doctoral degrees from among seven academic departments – biostatistics, community health sciences, environmental health, epidemiology, health systems management, international health and development and tropical medicine. The school has more than 1,400 students and 100 faculty. The students, faculty, and staff represent more than 70 cultures from around the world. Along with our own prestigious research centers and institutes, the school enjoys reciprocal relationships with other Tulane units, including the School of Medicine, the Tulane Regional Primate Research Center, the Center for Infectious Diseases, the Tulane/Xavier Center for Bioenvironmental Research, and the Tulane/Xavier Center for Excellence in Women’s Health. You can apply to Tulane through the online application system SOPHAS at: www.sophas.org. Tulane has rolling admissions which allows accepted students to begin their coursework in spring (January), summer (May/June) or fall (August). I encourage you to investigate this website and discover all that Tulane has to offer in regard to our outstanding research faculty, multicultural student body, and programs of study in the public health sciences. While this website contains an abundance of information, nothing can replace face-to-face contact. I encourage you to visit the School and New Orleans when making your choice for graduate education in the public health sciences. I am happy to assist you in making arrangements to visit personally with our faculty and students and also to participate in graduate tours of the School and the Health Sciences Center. In addition, you may wish to attend one of our regularly scheduled Open House events. If you are unable to visit the School, I welcome the opportunity to speak with you personally via telephone or email and connect you with Student Ambassadors as well as teaching and research faculty. We thank you for your interest and are happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding the admissions process, the School, or life in America’s most interesting city!
