ADMISSION TO-DO LIST

Admission Procedures

To be considered for admission to our School Counseling program, applicants must submit the following:

• Graduate Application.
  
  
• Supplemental Application.
  
  
• An autobiographical statement of approximately 750 words in length, double-spaced. It will be reviewed by faculty to assess the applicant’s suitability for the program. Further description is provided in the Supplemental Application.
  
  
• A current resume or vita that includes information on experiences working with children and/or families.
  
  
• Official transcripts from all institutions of higher education.
  
  
• Three letters of recommendation, two of which must be on Chapman University forms. At least one recommendation form must be from someone who has experience with the candidate in an academic setting and knowledge of the candidate’s academic potential. A second recommendation form must be from someone who knows the candidate in a work setting, preferably one where the candidate works with children. Information from the recommendations is used to help make judgments regarding a prospective candidate’s suitability and potential for professional success in the field of education, including the appropriate personal characteristics. Any candidate with “insufficient to function as a counselor”, or comparable notation, on a form is denied admission to the program.
