• Submit a 1-2 page personal statement that describes the applicant’s prior/current experiences related to the public health field and explains the applicant’s desire to earn a master’s degree in public health. The DePaul University Master of Public Health Program is a rigorous, professional graduate program.

TOEFL scores are good for only two years.
