All nursing applicants are required to take the English placement test regardless of prior educational experience. Acceptance to nursing 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.
There are five separate options for the Cardiovascular Technology Program, including an AAS degree and four certificate programs. 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. However, requirements for entering the program include current EMT-Basic Certification, specific EMS experience, and completion of prerequisite coursework. Students must be 18 years of age on or before the first session of the EMTP course sequence.
