Medical Assisting Program Application Forms

Completion (or Spring 2024 enrollment) of required prerequisite courses, each with a grade of C (2.0) or above: PSYC&200, and ENGL& 101

Minimum cumulative grade point of C (2.0) or above

Applicants' transcripts will be scored as shown on the application, and ranked by score.

If interviews are necessary (because of a high number of applicants), candidates will then be selected for interviews based on this ranking.

If interviews are necessary, a representative of the Nursing and Allied Health Department will phone applicants to schedule interviews.

Candidates will receive selection results via US Postal Service.

Candidates must verify acceptance by a predetermined date, or the acceptance will be forfeited and the candidate will lose cohort placement. (USPS is the only way we will notify candidates of their acceptance.)

Scoring method: (number of credits) x (course grade) = score

Example: B- in MEDA 101...(3 credits for MEDA 101) x (2.7 for B-) = 8.1 points

Since CS 110 is a 3 credit course and BTEC 145 is 5 credits, BTEC 145 credits will be limited to 3 for scoring purposes
