A limited number of students will be admitted annually to the professional phase. The next class will begin Fall 2006. To gain concentration (professional phase) admittance, all admission and academic requirements and health and technical standards must be satisfactorily completed. Allied health prerequisite classes (ALHE 2010 and 2020) will be offered during the summer session. Female applicants are advised that a pregnancy policy, inclusive of the NRC’s regulations regarding the declared pregnant student (declared pregnant worker), and student matriculation options have been adopted. All applicants meeting published academic program requirements will be scheduled for an interview with the admissions committee.
