    Course work in mathematics and the physical, chemical, and biological sciences must be documented in the undergraduate transcript. Acceptable undergraduate training includes a bachelor's degree in the physical, chemical, or biological sciences with a minimum of two courses each in organic chemistry, biology, physics, and calculus. Applicants for admission must also take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) unless the candidate already has a graduate or professional degree (and a waiver is approved.) Consistent with GSPH requirements, students are ordinarily required to have at least a 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) overall undergraduate QPA, and a 3.00 QPA in the basic science courses (chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics). Applicants for the MPH in Occupational Medicine must hold an MD or equivalent degree from an acceptable institution.

    Financial support is available for tuition and stipend for Ph.D.students through a graduate research assistance program from the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. Stipends are made available from the department, and from individual research laboratories. MPH students in Occupational Medicine are eligible for support via a training grant in Occupational Medicine from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Additional support for students (e.g. residents) in this program is made available via the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Although masters students in general environmental health and/or environmental health risk assessment are eligible for support, it is expected that tuition and stipends for these students will be derived from external sources.


    Although all PhD students are considered for financial aid per the department's rolling admissions policy, it is best to have your application completed by February 15th. Most GSR appointments are awarded by March. MPH students are not eligible for aid from the department.
