Dear Applicants,
Thank you for your interest
in the Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health (COPH) at the University of
Arkansas for Medical Sciences. We look forward to working with you
throughout the application process and are happy to answer your questions.
COPH uses the
Schools of Public Health Application Service (SOPHAS) www.sophas.org
for applications to all programs, except for the MHSA program which uses
either SOPHAS or HAMPCAS. All applicants are encouraged to submit their
completed applications through SOPHAS prior to the stated application
deadline to ensure timely delivery of your application to COPH for review.
This includes submitting all transcripts, test scores, letters of
recommendation, and CV/resumes directly to SOPHAS prior to stated
deadlines. Applicants may take tests such as the GRE up to application
deadlines but not after to qualify for review.
Applicants should check the SOPHAS or HAMPCAS portal periodically to ensure
that all required documents have been received by SOPHAS or HAMPCAS, and
that the completed application has been forwarded to COPH for review. Please
note that it can take SOPHAS or HAMPCAS up to 3-4 weeks to process and send
your application to the COPH.
Depending upon the degree program, there are a few items that must be sent
directly to COPH as well. See Application and Eligibility Requirements for
detailed information. Students who are submitting MCAT scores in lieu of
the GRE should email the COPH their AAMC ID number and verification code.
In addition to reviewing the Application and
Eligibility Requirements for specific degree programs, international
applicants should see the requirements for international students.
Please feel free to contact the Admissions Office if you have any questions
or comments about the process.
We look forward to receiving your application.
Best Regards,
Angie N. Choi
