Application procedures and required application materials vary by program. View a listing of all graduate degree programs offered.  The specific admission requirements for each program are detailed in the Academic Catalog.  Select the program from the left-hand navigation menu in the catalog.

If you are an international student and you are uncertain as to whether you will need a student visa to attend KUMC, contact the Office of International Programs directly.

Admission Criteria

The Office of Graduate Studies minimum admission requirements for both degree-seeking and non-degree-seeking applicants can be found in the KUMC Graduate Studies section of the Academic Catalog. Some of these requirements are:

  • Minimum English Proficiency Requirement which is also posted on the International Programs website.
  • Background Check requirement which may affect the student's eligibility to enter the program. In the case of students involved in direct patient contact, additional checks maintained by various health care disciplines may be required. Prospective students should check with their individual academic programs regarding these additional checks.
  • International Transcript Evaluation
    • Students with bachelor's degrees from international institutions must have their transcripts evaluated for equivalency.  Please speak to the program you are applying to about evaluation requirements.
