Admission
General Information
Students accepted into the program must complete the following program admission requirements before the first day of classes. Enrollment in the associate degree program is not limited; therefore, most qualified applicants are admitted. In the event, however, that enrollment exceeds program resources, applicants who are residents of Indiana are given preference for admission before out-of-state applicants.
Criteria Used for Selection of Class Students can apply directly to the program at any time and work with the program advisor toward completion of the core curriculum.
Prior completion of the certificate-level course work, or certification by the American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification as an HT and application for the program’s special credit option are accepted.
