Additional Information on the SCU Admissions Process

SCU seeks students whose academic talent and commitment to excellence promise future achievement in their chosen areas of major study. The program faculty selects students primarily on the basis of their academic credentials, admissions essays, and the admissions interview (where applicable). Admissions interviews are evaluated by members of the faculty. Faculty members are looking for candidates with strong academic backgrounds and compelling reasons for pursuing their chosen areas of major study.  Specific admissions details are available in the program’s admissions information section.

“SCU’s location in Southern California is ideal for everything we’re about. It is a culture, here, of lifestyle medicine; people who are active, they’re within driving distance of the mountains and in the same day they can be on a beach.”
