The Academic History quadrant is one of the most important sections when applying to our programs.

List ALL of the colleges you have ever attended, regardless of the number of degrees earned or gaps in the dates of attendance. It is required to report all post-secondary colleges. Failure to list all colleges and courses may disqualify applicants from consideration.

In the "Supporting Information" quadrant, please list up to six (6) relevant experiences. These may include employment, clinical experiences, community volunteer experiences and research experience.

The "Program Materials" quadrant contains specific questions for our programs.

In the "Documents" tab, upload copies of transcripts from every college or university attended, including study abroad coursework and community college coursework, even if transfer credit appears on your degree transcript. You may upload unofficial transcripts to the documents section. Do not upload photographs of transcripts, or web views of your course history; they will be rejected by the review process. Only upon admission will applicants be required to have official transcripts sent directly to the Graduate Studies office.

If applicable, please upload test score reports (MCAT, DAT, GRE, etc.), or other licenses or certifications. If you have not taken any of the relevant standardized tests, the test score upload is not required. Please do not upload resumes.
