Interview Process
A personal interview is part of the admissions process; however, being interviewed is not a guarantee of admission. Upon receipt of the completed application, a review will be made to determine if the applicant will be granted an interview. The Office of Admissions will notify selected applicants for interviews.
For all this information and additional information, please refer to the Program Brochure in the window to your left.
It is the responsibility of international students and scholars to ensure that their visa status allows for the issue of a Social Security number. A U.S. social security number is mandatory to receive an intern license in the Pharm.D. program, which is a requirement for placement on pharmacy practice experiences. Without a pharmacy intern license, a student cannot complete the curriculum or the requirements of the Pharm.D. degree program.
International students in the Ph.D. program, who are paid teaching assistants, will need to obtain a U.S. social security number for employment with the university.
It is the responsibility of the international applicant to contact the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) for information on immigration regulations and student visa requirements. For more information visit https://www.nova.edu/internationalaffairs/students/
