  • GPA of 2.75 or higher
  • Unofficial transcripts showing degree conferral. Upon acceptance, official transcripts are required
  • Essay/Letter of Intent

  • UC students and graduates are eligible for Fast-Track admission
    • To qualify for Fast-Track admission, applicants must have completed a bachelor’s degree or higher at the University of Cincinnati within the last five years and earned a GPA of 3.0 or higher in UC coursework.
    • Applicants who qualify for Fast-Track admission are excused from the personal goal statement requirement and skip the committee review process after applying, instead being admitted directly to the program based on their academic history at the University of Cincinnati. This makes the application process easier and faster for our Bearcat Alumni!

Transcripts

To be considered “official,” transcripts must be sent to UC directly from any previously attended institutions. Most high schools and colleges use either Parchment or National Student Clearinghouse. Search for your previously attended institution(s) on these sites to see if you can order your transcripts electronically.

In Parchment, select “University of Cincinnati – Main Campus” as the transcript recipient. In National Student Clearinghouse, you can request the transcripts be sent directly to admissions ([email protected]). If you don’t see your school(s) listed on either of these sites, contact the school(s) directly. Please note that all transcripts must be received by the application deadline.
