2. Meet Program Requirements

In order to be eligible to register for our programs, applicants must first meet program requirements to show they are ready for college-level coursework. Read more about Meeting Program Requirements here. 

All health programs require the student to complete a background check, drug screening and obtain several vaccinations before they can be placed at a clinical site.  Clinical internships are a requirement for successful completion of their program.  Students will need a valid social security number for the background check to be processed. Inability to provide a valid social security number  may result in a clinical facility’s refusal to accept a student for placement.
