Admissions

Individuals who have met all application requirements and permanently reside in the United States at the time of application, inclusive of DACA recipients, are permitted to apply and matriculate at Touro University California. Currently, TUC does not accept international students.

Eligibility for Federal Financial Aid is limited to US Citizens and US Permanent Residents. Candidates applying without US Citizenship or Permanent Residency are strongly encouraged to explore financing options before proceeding with the application process. Additional information may be viewed by visiting the Eligibility Requirements section of the Financial Aid website.

All applications must earn a Bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution prior to the first day of mandatory orientation. Minimum cumulative and science GPA's of 2.40 or greater are also required.

Two letters of recommendation are required. One letter must be an academic reference from a professor from whom you have earned a grade. The second letter may be from any source, excluding family members.

Contact information for at least one letter writer must be entered into the PostBacCAS application.

PostBacCAS does not interface with Interfolio. Interfolio letter packets may be sent directly to Ms. Naisha Bible (naisha.bible@tu.edu).

The Master of Science in Medical Health Sciences program considers applications from graduates of foreign institutions. The Program does not, however, evaluate foreign transcripts. Transcripts and coursework from foreign institutions must be evaluated by a recognized evaluation agency. Evaluations must be sent directly to PostBacCAS or to the Office of Admissions. 

Touro University California accepts advanced placement credit as long as such credit appears on the undergraduate transcript and indicates either specific subject credit (e.g. General Chemistry - 4 units) or specific course credit (e.g. Chem 101 - 4 units). General advanced placement credit without such specifications is not accepted.
