If utilizing World Education Services, please designate SOPHAS or HAMPCAS to receive the evaluation. If utilizing Education Credential Evaluators, please send evaluation to The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences in Oklahoma City, OK at the address or email address on the following link: https://admissions.ouhsc.edu/About-Us/Contact-Information.

If you are an international applicant, you are required to demonstrate English proficiency.  This can be satisfied by submitting TOEFL or IELTS scores that meet the minimum required score.

Please refer to the ‘Program Specific Application Requirements’ section below to see whether the GRE is required for the program you are interested in. Applicants that are required to take the GRE need to have official GRE scores sent to our university via the following instructions:

Non-University of Oklahoma former or current students:  SOPHAS should be designated to receive the scores by using the designation code #4244

Personal Statement 

The personal statement should be created in a word processing program and uploaded into the program-specific fields in the program-specific application tool: SOPHAS application, the Hudson College supplemental application, and/or the HAMPCAS application.  Complete instructions are within the respective application.   

Current CV/Resume  

The SOPHAS, HAMPCAS and Hudson College supplemental applications allow applicants to upload the CV or resumé before electronically submitting the application. It is not possible to upload the resumé to the SOPHAS application after e-submission of the application.  

It is important to upload your resumé into the SOPHAS, HAMPCAS or Hudson College supplemental application. Any document not received by SOPHAS or HAMPCAS will not be visible to the Admissions Committee when they review application files.    

OU Norman current or former students only need to complete the OUHSC application because SOPHAS is always waived for them.

All OU Norman current or former applicants must submit a copy of each of their transcripts to our Office of Admissions and Records utilizing the following instructions: https://admissions.ouhsc.edu/Prospective-Students/How-to-Apply/Submit-Supporting-Materials . OU Norman current or former students do not need to submit a Norman transcript because it will be imported from OU Norman’s system into the OU Health Sciences system.
