Residential (on campus) degree programs use SOPHAS for the application. You will need to create an account on SOPHAS in order to apply.
Materials required in SOPHAS:
All application materials must be received in SOPHAS in order for your application to be reviewed.
Earned your degree abroad?
International students (or students who have earned their degree outside the US or Canada) must submit a course-by-course evaluation of international coursework. Evaluations can take a month to complete from the time the agency receives your international transcript(s), so we recommend getting an early start on this process in order to ensure the evaluation is received by the deadline for which you are applying. We can accept WES, ECE, and SpanTran evaluations. SOPHAS will only accept WES, but if you have an ECE evaluation, please send it to sphtmadmissions@tulane.edu. If you use SpanTran, please be sure to use the custom application they've created, which you can access by clicking here.
