Application Process

Our admissions process is highly personalized.  Our goal is to learn as much as possible about your child while we, in turn, help you to learn more about the MPH community.

The Admissions Process

Tell Us You’re Interested

The first step is to complete an inquiry form. This notifies the Admissions team of your family’s interest in MPH, and should be completed in advance of an application. A member of the Admissions team will respond promptly to provide you with more information, answer your questions, and offer guidance as you prepare for the application process to come.

Spring 2025 Admissions Events:
