Many of our Health Science programs have admission requirements that must be completed prior to admission into the program. After meeting the requirements, students may apply for admission into their desired Program of Study.

If you are interested in applying to any of these Health Science programs, you should apply to Health Sciences – Associate of Science and indicate your program of interest.

If you are interested in these programs, you should apply directly to the program as opposed to the Academic Transfer or general Health Sciences program.
