Admission Information

Application Instructions

The first step for seeking entry into the program is completing the UAMS Graduate School’s application for admission. After completing the application including the required documentation, the full application will be reviewed by the DBMI Admissions Committee (DBMI-AC). The decision of the DBMI-AC about an applicant will be passed to the Graduate School.

Documentation for submission

Documents must be submitted to the UAMS Graduate School via email or ordinary mail to the following address:

UAMS Graduate School
4301 W. Markham St., Slot# 601
Little Rock, AR 72205

The documentation required includes:

  • Official copies of transcripts of all of the institutions you have attended. Official copies should be sent directly from every college or university the applicant has previously attended to the Graduate School Office. Academic transcripts should include all courses, grades, credits attempted and degree(s) earned. All transcripts become the property of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Graduate School and will not be released to the applicant or to any other person, institution or agency. No official action is taken on any application until all transcripts are received.
  • Current CV/Resume.
  • Written statement. The candidate’s written statement of interest must convincingly demonstrate alignment of the candidate’s career goals with the goals of the program. The most competitive candidates will have evidence of prior pursuit of projects, courses, work, or internship experience in Biomedicine or Biomedical Informatics.
  • Recommendation Letters. For the MS and PhD programs, applicants are required to submit three letters of recommendation. For the Certificate program, two letters of recommendation are required. These letters should come from individuals who are familiar with the applicant’s academic background. Ideally, they should be from researchers or professionals who can speak to the candidate’s educational experience and qualifications.
  • OPTIONAL: Official copy of score (or scores) acceptable to the program on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).

If you are unable to submit all application documents to your online application, please email the remaining documentation to graduateadmissions@uams.edu
