All applicants must:
- Submit a personal statement discussing your interest in the Undergraduate Program in Rehabilitation Science and your professional goals. The statement should include a short story describing a meaningful experience that helped shape your path toward Rehabilitation Science and reveal your personality, values, and the unique contribution you will make to the Rehabilitation Science Program. Essays should be approximately 500 words in length and single or 1.5 spaced.
- Resumes are required.
- Submit one letter of recommendation. A recommendation from a supervisor from a health care/disability related experience or a college faculty member is preferred.
- Submit official transcripts from all institutions from which you have earned college credits. Current University of Pittsburgh students do not need to provide their University of Pittsburgh transcript, and can request copies of transcripts previously submitted to Pitt from their current school. Students currently at the Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences can obtain copies of non-Pitt transcripts from the Office of Student Records, 140 Thackeray Hall, and drop them off in the SHRS Admissions Office, 4020 Forbes Tower.
Please note that admission to the program is competitive. Meeting the minimum admission criteria does not guarantee admission.
Additional Information
Students planning to apply to graduate professional programs in health sciences are recommended to complete most of the prerequisite courses for those graduate programs (e.g. Physics II, Biology II, Chemistry II, etc.) prior to admission to the Rehabilitation Science program. Anatomy and Physiology (prerequisites for many professional health science programs) are included in the Rehabilitation Science curriculum.
Application Deadline: February 15
Early applicants welcome. Application review begins in January.
