All nursing applicants are required to take the English placement test regardless of prior educational experience. Acceptance to clinical coursework is based upon fulfillment of clinical prerequisites, legal residency, and the availability of spaces. Once they accept a seat in the option they select, students are committed to that option for all subsequent clinical nursing semesters. The Cardiovascular Technology Program is a statewide instructional program. All Maryland residents who fulfill program prerequisites are eligible to enroll at Howard County tuition rates.
Clinical coursework is available as a day option only.
Applicants to the Advanced Imaging and Analysis Certificate option must be certified radiologic technologists. The Emergency Medical Services Program is offered in conjunction with the Howard County Department of Fire and Rescue Services. Students may enroll in non-clinical coursework at any time. Clinical EMSP course work will be offered at HCC's Gateway Building campus. Requirements for admission to clinical coursework are subject to change.
