Hi, Kim00miki congrats

Where is that online option for epidemiology? In UCLA ? could you please tell me? I need to take that 2 but cannot find any online courses, my email is [email protected]

thanks!!!!

i got a call as well.
and i will be taking summer school. that online option for epidemiology is looking really good right now... esp since i don't wanna brave LA traffic 3 days a wk. UCLA students do not need to pay the $300 reg fee but we need to be accepted first before we can save that money. any one have any suggestions?
i am looking into financial aid. but i doubt i will get any since i've been working my butt off and saving money. some times life is just not fair. :) did you guys fill out the needaccess.com form?

hi guys, i have some info on the epi class at UCLA...

http://www.ph.ucla.edu/EPI/10006s/10006s.html

the online option (2) requires only a 3hr in-class final (100% of grade) on aug 3rd.

i think the easiest thing to do is email [email protected]. i got a response the next day telling me that i am enrolled and i'll be getting my ID with PIN within a few days. so this means only $41 for registration... plus regular graduate student course fee, of course, at $192 per unit.

i still paid a $100 processing fee (but that was before i emailed the summer school ppl)... not sure if that is required or not...

hope this helps!

Yay! I am in too...

Now comes the hard part. I live in SF and was planning on moving down right before classes start, but now it looks like I will need to take a Fundamentals of Nursing course which NO other school requires!

Just got an email saying that UCLA is going to offer it over ther summer, but looks like it will be pretty late notice on times, etc.

I am also 7th in queue for that EPI 100 class.

Anyone have any suggestions on the fundamentals course? What are you guys doing?

Hey!

I'm in the same boat as you...coming from NYC and its such a pain in the rear to have to move back sooner not only for the epi final (got into the class) but for the nursing fundamentals as well....sigh.

When I spoke to Rhonda earlier this year, she said she anticipated the fundamentals course being around 3 weeks long in later August. I'm hoping its close enough to the start date that it won't be such a huge pain...

Good luck on the queue!

i feel for you out of town ppl... maybe you can work out housing to start in aug -- since you'll be here for the epi final and nursing fundamental class...

just curious, anyone know any stats about the 2006 starting class? e.g. how many ppl, etc?

i talked a girl from Western U -- she was in their starting class for the master's entry program and she said they had to go through a lot of growing pain since it was the first yr for the program... they had to endure and screen a couple of bad instructors and stuff like that... i hope our experience will not be too bad -- but is that wishful thinking?

Hello there!

I have been admitted into the MECN program. Ugh, where did 70k come from ??? I was told it would be 12k per year....

amm2061 · May 24, 2006

I think that 70k was a bit of an exaggeration...the tuition cost is about 12k a year....factor in your own housing cost etc....for me, it has worked out to be around 50k for the whole thing (and I don't necessarily think I'm being that frugal)...
