Diploma Program Path
- Student holds a minimum of an Associate’s Degree in a non-healthcare related field.
- Student has minimum of 6 approved credit hours in Anatomy and Physiology within the last five years.
Advanced Certificate Path
- Students holds a minimum of an Associate’s Degree in an approved Allied Health Field or a Nursing Degree.
