Application Procedures

Class size is limited and all applicants may not be selected for participation. A selective admission process will be utilized. Information about the process will be provided with the application packet. For applicants to the fall semester, applications must be received by July 1 to be assured of consideration. For applicants to the spring semester, applications must be received by December 1 to be assured of consideration. Applicants must provide:

  1. Application for Admission: The College of Health Professions Application for Admission is required.* You may choose to apply directly online by clicking here or you may print a copy of the application, then complete and mail it to the address on the form.
     
  2. Application Fee:  A $40.00 non-refundable fee is required and must accompany the application.  (If applying to multiple programs, a $40.00 fee is required for the first program and $10.00 for each additional program.)
     
  3. Official Transcript: Arrange for each college and university you have attended to mail an official transcript directly to the CHP Office of Student Affairs. If you have completed no college/ university level course work, arrange for each high school you have attended to forward an official transcript. GED scores may be submitted for high school transcripts, if appropriate. Minimum CGPA for admission is 2.25.
     
  4. ACT/SAT Scores: (If the accepted applicant has successfully completed nine (9) or more university/college hours, an ACT/SAT score is not required.) Scores may be documented on an official high school transcript or sent directly to the CHP Office of Student Affairs from ACT or SAT testing services.
     
  5. References: Three reference forms from persons qualified to judge your promise of success in the program are required.
     
  6. Interview: Applicants are contacted to arrange an interview after receipt of their application and transcript(s); based upon qualifications, not all applicants may be interviewed. The applicant’s writing skills will be assessed during the interview.
     
  7. TOEFL scores as applicable.

Transcripts “issued to the student” will not substitute for official transcripts forwarded directly to the College of Health Professions by the institution issuing the transcripts.

*Admission Requirements for Foreign, Non-permanent Resident Alien, and Non-native English Speakers:  All applicants who are not United States citizens or permanent resident aliens or for whom English is not their native language must meet additional admission requirements.  Please consult the Admission/Academic Information section of the CHRP Catalog found at http://www.uams.edu/chp/catalog/ .

Arkansas residency will be considered during selection for admission.
