Due to capacity constraints we are not accepting transfer or second-degree applications to the Physician Assistant Studies program. Any student with more than 12 post-secondary credits is considered a transfer student.
In order to apply for admission, the following items must be submitted:
* An application for admission.
* A transfer form.
* An official high school transcript. For Physical Therapy applicants, Standardized Test Scores are also required (SAT or ACT).
* Official transcripts of all previous college work.

Competitive essays demonstrate an awareness of the field and are usually a maximum of three pages in length.

* The $50.00 application fee.
* All RSHS students will be expected to perform certain physical, mental, and emotional tasks in order to complete graduation and professional requirements as measured by state and national certification, licensure and registration processes. Information about these performance indicators can be found here. This information is also available to students in the 2006-2008 RSHS Academic Student Handbook.
