Applicants are eligible to apply to the program if they have a bachelor's or master's degree. Previous coursework or knowledge of anatomy, physiology and medical terminology is highly recommended.

Applicants must have a minimum of a 3.00 cumulative GPA (scale is 4.00 = "A") in the last 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours of a student's first bachelor's degree program, or applicants must have a minimum of a 3.00 cumulative GPA (scale is 4.00 = "A") in an applicable master's degree program.

All applicants must submit:

• Graduate admission application and application fee.
• Official transcripts.
• Resume or curriculum vitae.
• Two references.
• Proof of English proficiency.
• Proof of six months of experience conducting clinical research.

You must submit a personal statement that describes your purpose for pursuing this degree and what you hope to accomplish with it. Please limit your response to one page, double-spaced with 12-point font and one-inch margins.

An interview may also be required. If so, we’ll contact you shortly after we receive your completed application to schedule.

An applicant whose native language is not English (regardless of current residency) must provide proof of English proficiency.

The online references should be from professional colleagues, supervisors, professors or other professional contacts and should attest to the applicant's academic and leadership experiences.

The applicant's resume or curriculum vitae must show six months of full-time related clinical research work or internship experience. The applicant may be required to submit a job description or internship transcript.

Students who do not meet the six-month related work or internship requirement may be eligible for a bridge option.

How the bridge option works: Applicants will apply for the degree program as normal. The applicant will be declined admission, but may be provisionally accepted if they agree to take three additional courses on the fundamentals of clinical research management. Once the applicant successfully passes those courses, they are accepted into the program and start the core classes.
