Master's Degree Programs

Admission

Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited U.S. or Canadian college or university, or a professional degree in dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, or other relevant professional field that is the U.S. equivalent of a bachelor’s degree.

Applicants must submit the following items as part of the admission process

  • A completed online application, with the following supporting documents:
  • Academic transcripts
  • Personal statement
  • Resume or curriculum vitae
  • Three letters of recommendation
  • Official GRE test scores. We will also accept the DAT, MCAT, USMLE, NBDE Part I or Part II, or INBDE.
  • Application fee of $100 (*See below for information regarding the Application Fee Waiver Policy)

Applicants with a bachelor’s degree from a school outside of the U.S. or Canada are required to submit a course-by-course evaluation from Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) and official Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The ECE evaluation must verify equivalency to a bachelor's degree from a regionally-accredited U.S. institution

Please note that applications that are incomplete will not be reviewed. All supporting materials, including transcripts and applicable test scores, etc. need to be submitted by the application deadline.
