A candidate for admission must have completed two (2) years of college education (90 quarter units/60 semester units) at the Baccalaureate level, or the equivalent, from an institution accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.


The minimum entrance requirements in general education for applicants without a degree are a minimum of 42 quarter units in general education which shall be distributed among Humanities (8 units), Social and Behavioral Sciences (8 units), Communication (8 units), Mathematics (4 units) and Interdisciplinary studies or Electives (14 units).

College courses with a 'D' grade cannot be counted toward the 90-quarter or 60 semester units needed to enroll at the University, but will be counted in the cumulative GPA calculation to determine admission eligibility to the University. General education courses must have been earned at an accredited institution and approved as a degree-granting Postsecondary educational institution or the equivalent, prior to enrollment at SBU. If an applicant has successfully completed 90 quarter (or 60 semester) units of college work, but was found to be deficient in the General Education (GE) requirement mentioned above, he/she may enroll at the University under the condition that he/she will complete the GE requirement within six (6) quarters from the enrollment date. The University offers 30-quarter units in general science (Anatomy, Physiology, Physics, Biology, etc.), which may be used to satisfy the science requirement in GE. All applicants must have a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 2.0 (based on official transcripts submitted for evaluation) to enroll. However, the Admissions Office will give preferential admission to prospective students with a CGPA of 2.5 or higher on a scale of 4.0.


If the prerequisite educational requirements were earned at a recognized, and approved foreign institution the prospective student's official transcripts must be evaluated by a credential evaluation agency which is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). A copy of the evaluation must be forwarded directly from the credit evaluation agency to the SBU Admissions Office for admission determination.


Each prospective foreign student must demonstrate Language Proficiency evidenced by a TOEFL score of 173 CBT or 53-59 iBT or passing an EPAT( English Proficiency Aptitude Test) for English Language Program, or passing a KPAT(Korean Proficiency Aptitude Test) for Korean Language Program, or CPAT(Chinese Proficiency Aptitude Test) for Chinese Language Program. Students enrolled in the Korean or Chinese Language program must also demonstrate English language proficiency evidenced by a TOEFL score of 43 or above iBT or 133 CBT or 450 ITP and a mean score on the TSE prior to entering Clinic Internship.


The prospective student should show evidence of maturity and understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a primary healthcare professional.
