Important Information to All Prospective Graduate Students

Each year the department receives numerous applications from students interested in our unique and comprehensive program.  Information concerning new and innovative curricula and the implementation of technological advances for classroom and clinical applications have further established the program’s reputation for academic excellence.  Last year, the department awarded over $80,000 in graduate student financial aid, and this year we're doing even better! If you are planning to submit an application dossier, please note all posted deadlines. And while some programs limit student visitations to one or two days a year, we encourage all prospective students to visit us any time in beautiful Radford, Virginia.  We’re never too busy to share our facilities, knowledge, and time with future colleagues.

This summer is looking to be among the most beautiful in recent history.  Please visit us in the scenic New River Valley where academics and having fun are both highly valued!
