The UCLA Jonathan and Karin Fielding School of Public Health is the graduate school of public health affiliated with UCLA, and is located within the Center for Health Sciences building on the UCLA campus. UCLA is located in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. The UCLA School of Public Health has more than 8,000 alumni and 80 full-time faculty, with students from over 35 countries. The school is ranked tenth in public health in the U.S. News and World Report rankings.
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. 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 UCLA rescinded the plan in March 1994.
In 2003, the School of Public Health began awarding an undergraduate minor in public health.
On February 16, 2012, the school received a $50 million gift, 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.
