Departmental Admissions Process

Admissions are conducted once a year for matriculation into the MHSRC programs. Each year, the application decision process begins on April 15 and continues until the desired class size is accepted.

Part-time study is available to a limited number of students. Students anticipating special accommodations for the application and/or admission procedures should contact the Department for assistance.

The Department is committed to admitting a qualified and diverse group of students for each class. A strong commitment to the field of rehabilitation and the field of counseling are weighed heavily in the application process.
