Admissions Qualifications
Preference is given to applicants who have:
- Clinical certification and/or licensure in the United States in a rehabilitation field (e.g. physical or occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, nursing, physiatry, etc). Applicants without US clinical credentials may still be considered for admission on a case-by-case basis.
- A formal commitment from a qualified (program-approved) doctoral-level researcher to serve as the applicant’s research mentor if the applicant is admitted to the program.
Admission decisions are based on grade point averages (undergraduate and graduate), a written personal statement, written recommendations from former professors/clinical supervisors/colleagues, scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), and a personal interview (when deemed necessary to make a final decision)
