The UCLA Jonathan and Karin Fielding School of Public Health is the graduate school of public health at UCLA, and is located within the Center for Health Sciences building on UCLA's campus in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. The UCLA Fielding School of Public Health has 636 students representing 27 countries, more than 10,000 alumni and 237 faculty, 64 of whom are full-time.[2]

UCLA was recently ranked the No. 1 public university in the United States by U.S. News & World Report and the Fielding School of Public Health consistently ranks in the top ten schools of public health in the United States.[3][4]

Founded in 1961, the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health aims to build health and equity, and to drive positive change for all people. The school acts on this mission through initiatives in three core areas: education, discovery and service. In each of these realms, the school affirms its 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.[2]

History

UCLA began offering undergraduate instruction in public health in 1946. For the next fifteen years, public health instruction at UCLA was within a system-wide University of California public health school. In 1957, UCLA started a program that led to an advanced degree in public health. The UCLA School of Public Health was created on March 17, 1961, and Lenor S. (Steve) Goerke was named the first dean.[5] In June 1993, UCLA announced that it was planning to merge the School of Public Health into the School of Public Policy. UCLA rescinded the plan in March 1994.[6]

In 2003, the School of Public Health began awarding an undergraduate minor in public health.[7]

On February 16, 2012, the school received a gift valued at $50 million, the largest single donation the school received since its creation in 1962. On March 22, 2012 the school was officially named the UCLA Jonathan and Karin Fielding School of Public Health and the new sign on the building was unveiled.[8]
