REQUIREMENT FOR ADMISSION

Applicants for admission to the M.S.O.M. degree program must have a minimum of 60 semester credits (90 quarter credits) at the collegiate level from an institution accredited by a commission recognized by the U.S. Department of Education with a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA. The majority of these credits must be in areas of substantial academic content. The recommended courses within these 60 trimester credits include, but are not limited to, the following general education categories:

- Math (6 credits)
- Natural, or Physical and Life Science (6 credits)
- Written Communication (6 credits)
- Social/Behavioral Sciences (6 credits)
- Oral Communication (3 credits)
- Humanities and Fine Arts (6 credits)

There is no need for a potential student to have taken any course, such as Biology, Chemistry/Biochemistry, or other Western science classes, that is already offered as part of the Edgwood curriculum. See the Program page of the website for curriculum courses

Prospective applicants are encouraged to schedule a pre-application appointment with an admissions officer who will assist the candidates in making application decisions.

It is the college's aim to admit applicants who have demonstrated a strong desire to enter the field of Oriental Medicine, and who have sufficient ability to appreciate and take advantage of the unique curriculum offered to Edgewood students. The Admissions Committee will examine applicants for evidence of qualities appropriate to the practice of Oriental Medicine, including general education, motivation, level of maturity, academic ability, and communication skill.

APPLICATION DEADLINE

Application Deadlines Students are admitted to the Master's Program at the beginning of each quarter, but applications are reviewed continually. Prospective students are encouraged to apply for admission well in advance of the anticipated entrance date, particularly if one is also applying for Financial Aid.

Files that are incomplete as of these dates will not be considered for the trimester to which they correspond and admittance will be postponed until the following trimester. Students needing financial aid are encouraged to apply at least 30 days prior to the start of the trimester.

THE ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW

An admissions interview is required of each applicant seeking first-time admission, readmission, or admission with advanced standing (transfer from another school). Interviews are scheduled with a member of the Admissions Committee. Applicants may make an appointment for the admissions interview after the completed application has been received and reviewed. In exceptional circumstances, the Admissions Committee may choose to arrange a telephone interview. Applicants are considered on the basis of individual merit without regard to handicap, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, creed, race, or national or ethnic origin.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS

Academic success at Edgewood is dependent upon the student’s ability to communicate in English. The ability to understand, speak, read, and write in English must be well-developed in order to learn material with full comprehension and in a reasonable time period. This level of proficiency is greater than that required for daily interaction. Therefore, every effort should be made to perfect English skills prior to entering the college. People educated outside the U.S. in non-English-speaking institutions are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Lanugage (TEOFL) and achieve a minimum score of 500 on the written exam, (173 on the computer-based exam, or 61 on the Internet-based exam) and at least the currently reported mean score on the Test of Spoken English (TSE).

NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

Applicants are considered on the basis of individual merit without regard to handicap, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, creed, race, national origin or ethnicity. This policy applies to admissions, employment, financial aid, and all other matters within the college.

Additional admissions information can be obtained by contacting the school.
