How do I apply for the joint programs in Information Studies, Public Health, and Social Welfare?
You must apply to each degree program separately. Follow the application requirements for each program, Asian American Studies and either Information Studies, Public Health, Social Welfare. That is, if the Public Health program requires GRE scores for admissions, you must send the department your scores. In the statements of purpose for both applications, be sure to indicate that you are a joint program applicant and the joint program to which you are applying. For information regarding the joint program in Information Studies, please see the departmental website at http://is.gseis.ucla.edu/. Approval is pending for the joint Information Studies degree. However, we will accept applications in Fall 2008 for entry to the Fall 2009 Information Studies joint degree program. The faculty contact for the joint program with Information Studies is Prof. Clara Chu.
