Application Process

The Autumn 2012 admissions deadline for MS, MPH and PhD is January 15, 2012. This is a hard deadline and late Applications will not be accepted. Please apply via the Graduate School Website.

Transcript Evaluations

Due to the high number of inquiries we receive we are not able to do transcript evaluations for prospective applicants. With some exceptions, it should not be difficult for you to determine yourself which courses you have satisfied or need to take at another school. Here are some tips.

You may use the UW Equivalency guide to check which classes at local community colleges will fulfill prerequisite requirements.

A complete application uploaded on the Graduate School Website will include the following:

• Nutritional Sciences Application (Upload to the Graduate School Website, linked directly above)
• GCPD Application if you applying to the Graduate Coordinated Program
• Unofficial copies of your transcripts (if you are accepted to the program, official transcripts will be requested after offer of admission)
• 3 letters of recommendation (Letters may come from employers, professors, or previous colleagues; NOT from family members or spouses; directions will be listed in the application itself). Contact information for recommenders should be uploaded to the application; e-mails on how to proceed will be sent to the recommenders.
• Official TOEFL or TOEFLC scores (if international student).
• GRE scores. The code for the University of Washington is 4854. The Department Code for Nutritional Sciences is 0214. The official scores will be transmitted electronically to the UW. Scores older than 5 years will not be accepted.
• Official TOEFL or TOEFLC scores (for international students)
