Applications to the SEP typically come from students from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, who reflect considerable racial and ethnic diversity. What is common to all of these applicants is that they are bright and are committed to eliminating health disparities in the US.

There are no prerequisite courses or majors for the SEP. Previous students have come from large and small colleges and universities throughout the US. Most applicants have majored in the social sciences or the biological sciences, or in fields related to management such as economics, accounting and finance. Past SEP participants, however, have come from a variety of other undergraduate fields of study as well, e.g. the Humanities, Languages and Fine Arts.

If you are interested in health issues, and, particularly, those issues related to the health and health care of the poor, and populations of color, we encourage you to apply!
