One class per year is admitted for all programs. Students are required to attend designated consecutive semesters to complete the programs. Admission to a program is determined by an advisory committee which convenes approximately two months prior to the beginning of the semester. Each applicant is evaluated on the basis of academic record, a personal interview, and experience. All programs offered in the department call for a high degree of individual motivation, good physical health, and manual dexterity.
Instruction is individualized and performance standards are exacting.
Financial aid in the form of scholarships, loans, and grants is available to eligible applicants. The pursuit of higher education in public and allied health opens doors to a variety of opportunities for career growth. Presently, there is a national shortage of career-entry practitioners in most of the disciplines. Further information may be obtained by contacting the individual programs. Contact the program director in the major area for more details.
