Visiting Scholars

The Visiting Scholars Program in the Department of Health Services in the UCLA School of Public Health is a unique one-year program where individuals who are interested in learning more about Health Services issues, without participating in a formal degree program, may sit in on classes, work with faculty and students, and have access to department and university resources such as desk space, a computer, campus libraries, the internet, as well as receive a certificate at the completion of their visit.  Each Visiting Scholar has a faculty advisor, who must be designated prior to acceptance to the program. 

Both US citizens and non-US citizens are eligible to apply. The fee for the program is $5,000 US per year. If you are interested in applying, please send a cover letter and curriculum vitae/resume to:
