  1. Submit an application either online or on paper.
  2. Satisfy health and immunization requirements.
  3. Meet mental and physical requirements.
  4. Present evidence of a Bachelor of Science degree in an appropriate major from a regionally accredited college or university.
  5. Provide evidence of an unrestricted Florida licensure to practice as appropriate to discipline. (This requirement may be deferred.)
  6. Submit all official transcripts from all undergraduate and/or graduate institutions attended. Transcripts must be mailed directly to the Office of Enrollment Services from each institution attended. Hand-delivered or faxed copies will not be considered official.
  7. Submit official transcripts for all College Level Examination Program (CLEP), Advanced Placement (AP), and/or International Baccalaureate (IB) coursework.
  8. Present a minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 2.50 or higher on a 4.00 scale.
  9. Submit official satisfactory score on Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Miller Analogies Test (MAT).
  10. Submit three recommendations on ADU Recommendation Forms.  Recommendations from friends or family members are not accepted. Forms expire two years from the date of submission.
  11. Satisfactory criminal background checks for each state wherein the applicant has resided in the 24-month period preceding the date of admission (requirement for clinicals).

Due to the type and quality of resources needed for graduate coursework, course enrollment may be limited. Students accepted to a program of study will be given preference for course enrollment.

A transcript is considered official when stamped with the official school seal/security paper, signed by the appropriate school official, and received in a sealed envelope directly from the sending institution. ADU will not accept transcripts issued to students or submitted by students as official documents. Faxed transcripts are not considered official. Recommendation forms, official transcripts, and career essays received with an ADU application will be retained for one year. Applications received without an official transcript(s), career essay, and/or Recommendation Forms will be retained for six months.
