Transcript:
Provide official transcripts showing all previous undergraduate, graduate, and professional work with grades and degrees. If you are still working towards your degree at the time of application, you will be required to send in your transcripts twice: once to SOPHAS at the time of application and a second time to our Graduate Admissions Office once your undergraduate degree is conferred by your current institution.
A note for International Students: SOPHAS only accepts WES-evaluated transcripts. However, the University of Iowa does NOT accept WES evaluated transcripts. Therefore, you MUST send a separate official transcript to University of Iowa Office of International Graduate Admissions.
Curriculum Vitae:
Upload your resume or CV
Personal Statement:
Write a personal statement. Please address the following questions in a two- to three-page essay, typed and double-spaced. Provide equal time to each question, and in your answers use as much detail as possible, and use specific examples:
Describe your specific areas of interest within Community and Behavioral Health.
Which primary faculty members in the Department of Community and Behavioral Health do you think most closely share your areas of interest?
What previous experiences have influenced your decision to pursue a degree in Community and Behavioral Health?
How do you see yourself using this degree in the five years following graduation?
Recommendation Letter:
Provide Three (3) Letters of Reference. These letters are submitted by your letter writers through SOPHAS. We recommend letters of reference from your academic experiences, but we also accept professional references.
