   The university grants the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree and also includes the School of Physical Therapy, School of Occupational Therapy, and a School of Dental Medicine. It is oriented toward preparing health care professionals for rural and medically underserved communities, but the full programme catalogue is not published in the information available; check the university website for current degree options and admissions details.

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the current entry requirements, deadlines, and any document rules on the university website. The university does not publish additional international-admissions specifics in the information available, so confirm degree prerequisites, transcript evaluation, visa support, and any English-language requirement with the admissions office.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee range for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Yakima will depend on housing, transport, and day-to-day spending, so budget separately for those expenses.

   How it compares

   Among 2,515 universities in the United States, this is a specialized health sciences institution rather than a broad multi-subject university. Its stronger fit is for applicants who already want medicine or closely related clinical training, not for students looking for a wide general-academic course list.
