Application Requirements

Normally, an applicant’s previous training will have been in theology, philosophy, nursing, medicine, or other appropriate foundational area. Students with other academic or clinical backgrounds, however, will be considered if they demonstrate strong academic promise.

Applicants are to submit all required credentials and supporting documentation no later than the application deadlines listed below.

The Master of Arts program requires a one-time, four-day onsite at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., during the student’s final summer semester. Once enrolled in the program, international students will work with the program and Georgetown University’s Office of Global Services to obtain their visa for onsite attendance.

*We highly encourage students with international credentials to have their transcripts evaluated by WES (new window) or another NACES (new window) credential evaluation service. For WES evaluation, please type in “Georgetown University” for the institution/company. For School/Division, select “Biomedical Graduate Education” as the recipient.
