HOW TO APPLY:
You may apply using either the SOPHAS or HAMPCAS, but not both. Which application is best for you?

  • Use SOPHAS if:
    • the program or degrees to which you are applying all reside in schools of public health
    • all of these programs are part of the SOPHAS application system, then it will be easier for you to apply via SOPHAS.
  • Use HAMPCAS if:
    • you will be applying to programs in health care administration, management, and/or policy
    • some of these programs are not within schools of public health at other universities
    • all of the programs in which you are interested are included in the HAMPCAS application
