College of Medicine Graduate Programs : Admission guidelines for Health Science Campus programs

The admission of graduate students to the College of Graduate Studies programs offered on the Health Science Campus is determined by the degree program committees of the College of Graduate Studies, taking under advisement the recommendation of the program specified by each applicant.

Health Science Campus (HSC) Applicants:

• EARNED DEGREE: Baccalaureate or professional doctoral degree granted by an accredited college or university.
  
• GPA: A 3.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) from the institution granting the baccalaureate.  For an applicant to be considered for "Regular" admission, they must submit official transcripts confirming their degree with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better.  An applicant whose GPA is below 3.0 may be considered for "Conditional" admission.  Other criteria affecting status of admission (i.e. Regular; Conditional), are program-specific.  
  
• GRE/MCAT: It is within the discretion of the various programs to require the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or other qualifying examinations for all applicants.  The GRE is required of applicants for these graduate programs on the HSC: MS or PhD in Biomedical Science Programs, Occupational Therapy (OTD), Clinical Nurse Leader - Graduate Entry MSN program.  Although recommended, GRE scores are not required by the remaining master's degree and certificate programs on the Health Science Campus, for applicants with a baccalaureate from an accredited U.S. institution.   Applicants with a baccalaureate from a non- U.S. institution require GRE scores for all graduate programs.    For MD/PhD and MD/MS dual degree applicants, GRE scores are strongly recommended, but MCAT scores may be accpeted in lieu of GRE scores.
  
• LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: Depending on the program, two or three Letters of Recommendation are required addressed to the College of Graduate Studies Health Science Campus Admissions office.  Refer to the program's admission criteria for the required number of letters of recommendation.
