Queens College students in good standing who have:

• completed 75 undergraduate credits or more (juniors)
• maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher

Application is a two-step process.

Step 1: Apply internally

Initially, eligible Queens College students will apply to the Queens College 4+1 Admissions Committee with a personal statement. The Admissions Committee will also look up your transcript. The application deadline is December 1 for students wishing to start in the spring semester, and February 15 for students withing to start in the summer session.

Students who are accepted through this initial process will be eligible to begin taking graduate level courses at CUNY SPH in spring or summer via e-permit. Accepted students may earn up to 12 credits in graduate courses that will apply towards your master’s degree at CUNY SPH and may (depending on your major and equivalency requirements) also apply towards your Queens College bachelor’s degree.

SPH will accept the QC undergraduate students to the SPH MPH or MS programs provisionally, with final acceptance to the SPH MPH or MS program granted when the students have successfully completed the SPH courses taken while they are undergraduates, maintained a GPA (for both cumulative GPA and SPH coursework) of 3.0 or better as undergraduates, completed their bachelor degrees at QC, and met any additional admission criteria set by each SPH academic department. 

Step 2: After graduating from Queens College

You will be provisionally admitted to CUNY SPH the following summer, and will not be required to complete an application in SOPHAS (which is a sort of CommonApp for schools of public health). The GRE is waived for all applicants except those applying to the Epidemiology and Biostatistics program. All other requirements will apply. Application fees will be waived by CUNY SPH.

CUNY SPH will waive your application fee. All CUNY SPH courses taken while the students are undergraduates will be e-permit courses. (Note: precise transfer equivalencies will be determined when applicable by the appropriate academic departments at the students’ home campuses.)

CUNY SPH courses taken while you are still a Queens College student will be included in your Queens College tuition waiver if they are applied to your undergraduate degree. For graduate courses that are not applied to the undergraduate degree, CUNY graduate tuition will be charged.

Students will be responsible for paying their CUNY SPH tuition after graduating from Queens College (CUNY SPH does offer various financial aid opportunities).

To apply, you need to be a Queens College student with a declared major who is in good standing with a GPA of at least 3.2 and have completed at least 75 undergraduate credits. If you are accepted into the program, you must be able to complete your remaining undergraduate degree requirements on schedule (by the end of your 8th undergraduate semester) while taking the required CUNY SPH courses according to the specified course sequences.

When you apply, you need to submit a 1-2 page statement of interest, and an unofficial (CUNYfirst) transcript.

The GRE requirement is waived for all applicants except those who pursue the MPH in Epidemiology and Biostatistics degree.

The usual CUNY SPH application fee of $135 will be waived for Queens College students.

The recommended course sequences detail what courses and sequence for each degree.

CUNY SPH holds classes at their Harlem campus (55 West 125th Street) and online.
