Our Services

The mission of the Career Services Office is to facilitate the career development process for School of Public Health students through individual counseling sessions, workshops, employer presentations, career fairs and online job postings. We aim to collaborate with Alumni and the general Public Health community to strengthen partnerships between the students and representatives in Public Health agencies throughout the Greater Los Angeles area. We hope to be the agent that connects our students to their future.

• As part of their degree requirement, students are asked to find a field placement and work there for a period of time. The field studies requirement differs between the five departments in the UCLA School of Public Health. The Career Services Office does post internship openings that may be used for the field studies requirement but students ultimately should consult their Departmental Internship Coordinator for more information.
