The UCLA Fielding School of Public Health aims to build health and equity, and to drive positive change for all people. It acts on this mission through initiatives in three core areas: education, discovery, and service. In each of these realms, it affirms a commitment to developing leaders and evidence-based solutions, and to working in partnership with communities to promote health and well-being in ways that are innovative, respectful, and inclusive.  

The UCLA Fielding School of Public Health — ranked number 9 in the country by U.S. News & World Report in 2024 — is home to one of the brightest and most diverse public health student bodies in the United States, with students hailing from 26 countries. UCLA Fielding has five academic departments — Biostatistics, Community Health Sciences, Environmental Health Sciences, Epidemiology and Health Policy and Management — and offers seven degree types: BS, BA, MPH, MS, MHA, MDSH, and PhD. Additionally, concurrent and articulated degrees and certificates enable students to gain specialized knowledge in areas such as global health, population and reproductive health, environmental health, and health care management and leadership. Students also have access to a wide range of local and global hands-on training opportunities that provide the skills needed to move public health evidence to action.  

Fielding School faculty are leading efforts that improve people’s lives in Los Angeles and around the world. From addressing COVID-19 and tackling longstanding health inequities, to climate change, cancer care, and protecting people from food and occupational hazards, FSPH faculty work on the front lines of change.
