MASTER OF MEDICAL SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAM
Program Entrance Requirements
All admissions decisions at
Our Lady of the Lake College reflect the College’s mission and core
values, emphasize its commitment to excellence, and underscore its
intent to admit students who demonstrate characteristics indicative of
success not only at the College but also after they graduate and enter
their professions.
A
Learning Community which Values Diversity
The College intends to admit
students to its various programs whose admission will further the goal
of having classes comprised of academically and otherwise qualified and
unique individuals whose backgrounds (ethnicity, race, age, gender,
life experiences, employment experiences, religion, socio-economic
status, etc.) contribute to a learning environment in which diversity is
valued and in which students learn from one another. Most graduates of
the College’s programs assume professional positions within healthcare.
More than many industries, healthcare crosses gender, race, ethnic, age,
religion, and socio-economic lines. The College recognizes that
students learn about their professions and about life not only from
faculty but also from one another. Consequently, they (and ultimately
society) benefit by being part of a learning community that is comprised
of individuals from all backgrounds. The College’s commitment to
diversity as well as its emphasis on academic success is reflected in
its admissions decisions.
