MHSRC Application
The Department of Rehabilitation Counseling will begin accepting
applications after December 15 so that those students who have taken
courses in the Fall semester will have a complete official
transcript.
Timeline for application
Applications received by April 15 will be given priority.
Applications received after April 15 will be considered on a space
available basis.
A hard copy application may also be secured by contacting the
department directly or the Office of Student Affairs at 504-568-6299
or email sahpsa@lsuhsc.edu.
MHSRC Admission Requirements
1. Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university.
2. Minimum Undergraduate grade point average of 2.5 (in a 4.0
system).
3. Satisfactory Graduate Record Examination Score within the last 5
years
4. References from professors or employers familiar with your work
and character.
5. Written essay
Professional work experience in the field of rehabilitation or other
human services field will be given strong weight when considering an
individual for admission. In some cases, certain coursework
pre-requisites may be waived. Such decisions will be made by the
departmental admissions committee on a case-by-case basis.
The Department is interested in admitting a committed, qualified,
and diverse group of students for each class. For example, a
substantially higher GPA than that required may be used to offset a
lower GRE score. Frequently, the applicant pool has more competitive
GPA‘s than GRE scores.
The admissions committee will consider all three General Test
sections of the GRE; Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing,
as each section provides insight into a different aspect of the
prospective student. The department will continue to require the GRE
and utilize other criteria, as stated above, to determine admissions
decisions.
