The Dual Admission Program for Enrolled Students allows sophomores to reserve a spot in an NSU graduate or professional school. When reviewing applicants, the DAPES program only looks at a students’ work in their college freshman year.
“The dual admission provides a reserved seat into one of NSU’s graduate programs, contingent that they meet all requirements,” said Mallely Rodriguez, assistant director of student academic services.
As long as students are in the DAPES program, they can receive resources to help them prepare for more than 30 graduate programs, including Physical Therapy, Business Administration, Marine Science and Composition, Rhetoric, and Digital Media.
“D.O. as a program gets about 10,000 applications,” Rodriguez said. “You wouldn’t be competing against 10,000 people. You would be competing against yourself because you have a reserved seat waiting for you.”
General eligibility requirements include having at least 28 NSU credits from their freshman year, and a minimum cumulative 3.5 or 3.2 GPA, depending on the program. To apply, students need to submit three letters of recommendation, a letter of intent, an unofficial NSU transcript and a statement about why they want to be in the program.
“It has to be in your sophomore year at NSU, Sept. 1-15. They have to have been at NSU in their first year,” Rodriguez said. “As long as they meet the requirements, they have a reserved seat.”
