Admission To Health Sciences Programs

Admission into health science programs is highly competitive and selective. Meeting the minimum criteria for admission or taking required courses from a designated degree plan does not guarantee admission into a program. Preadmission examinations are required for some programs, and students must register in advance for scheduled testing dates. A grade of C or better is required in all courses applicable to health science degrees. Once admitted into any College of Health Science program, all courses on the program’s degree plan must be completed in residence. Many clinical facilities require a criminal background check and/or drug screen on CHS students and have the authority to deny clinical training in their facility, secondary to the outcome of either screening. Students unable to practice in any clinical agency because of the outcome of either screening will be unable to complete the program objectives, thereby revoking admission into a program or halting continued progression in the student’s program of study.

The College of Health, Education, and Human Sciences recognizes its responsibility to provide a healthy environment within which students may learn and prepare themselves to become members of the healthcare profession. The College is committed to protecting the safety, health, and welfare of faculty, staff , and students, and people who come into contact with them during scheduled learning experiences. A policy for the prevention and management of substance abuse has been adopted to assure attainment of the educational mission of the University and the College.
