For Fall 2019 admission: We are offering an expedited review process! If your completed application (including all supporting documents) is received by May 15, 2019, then you are guaranteed to receive an admission decision by June 1, 2019.
Please note that this waiver applies to the current application cycle for Fall 2019 enrollment only! All applicants for future cycles, beginning with Fall 2020, should expect to take the GRE.
Three letters of reference from a professor or supervisor, preferably with experience in a related field of study. If the applicant is a student or has graduated within the last two years, at least one letter must be from a college or university faculty member with whom the applicant has studied.
Transcripts for all degrees earned in schools outside the U.S. or Canada are required to have a course-by-course educational credential evaluation completed by an agency accredited by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). We require the use of World Education Services (WES). This evaluation provides a U.S. course equivalent including semester hours earned, course content, and corresponding letter grade for all courses listed on the international applicant’s transcript. This evaluation must be completed before the application can be considered for admission. The requirement for evaluation of transcripts is waived for graduates of foreign medical schools with a current license to practice in the U.S.
International applicants who trained in non-English speaking schools and do not reside in an English speaking country are required to take either the TOEFL or IELTS exam. Students who fail to meet this requirement must enroll in a course at the Intensive English Center and achieve satisfactory grades before admission to graduate study. Students whose scores on either of these exams are more than two years old must retake the test. The expected minimum score is for the IELTS exam is 7, with no subsection below 6. The expected minimum score on the TOEFL Internet Based Test is 90.
