We welcome both full and part-time students to apply
to our programs. Applications are reviewed on an ongoing
basis.
All materials must be received in the department by
June 1 for fall admission or Oct. 1 for spring admission.
Admission requirements include:
- a minimum undergraduate grade-point average of
2.7 on a 4.0 scale; or 2.7 in the last 60 semester
hour credits (based upon transcripts provided to the
Graduate School)
- three positive letters of reference from professors
or employers (on reference forms provided by the Graduate
School)
- satisfactory performance on either the Graduate
Record Examination [http://www.princetonreview.com/grad]
or the Miller Analogies Test [http://harcourtassessment.com/]
- relevant and clear statement of goals for graduate
study and career
- statement of previous work or volunteer experience
As part of the admissions review process, applicants
may be asked to personally interview with rehabilitation
counseling faculty members, either in person or by telephone.
If you want to register for classes and you have been out of the Rehabilitation Counseling or Professional Counseling Program for one year or more, you must reapply to the program. You will need to submit all new materials to the Graduate Admission's Office.
A complete set of application materials is available
on the Graduate
School Web site or at the department office,
730 East Broad Street, 3rd Floor.
For degree requirements, a sample of a full-time program
of study, specializations, examination requirements
for graduation and time limits for the completion of
the degree, visit the rehabilitation counseling section
in the online Graduate
Programs Bulletin.
A maximum of 12 hours of graduate credit may be transferred
from another VCU graduate
program or outside institution if not applied previously
to another degree. Transfer credits must carry a grade
of “B” or higher from an accredited institution.
Transfer credits earned as a nondegree-seeking graduate
student are limited to six semester hours of credit.
Credits earned as deficiency hours or to demonstrate
the ability to compete at the graduate level, though
transferable, may not be applied to the 48-credit
program
of study.
