Students seeking the public health or urban studies major must apply for admission to the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy through a separate procedure from the one through which they apply to the university. Students already enrolled at one of the liberal arts colleges should obtain information about Bloustein School admission procedures from the undergraduate programs office of the school, or from the office of academic affairs or student services at their liberal arts college. Incoming transfer students should obtain information from the undergraduate programs office.

Students who successfully meet all of the eligibility requirements for admission and who have a cumulative grade-point average of 2.5 or better are considered for admission. Students are required to write a personal statement as part of their application and to submit their credentials for review by the admissions committee to determine suitability for admission.
