Time off/Interrupted Program Information

Life happens!  We understand that students sometimes need to temporarily opt out of attending college.  Unfortunately, staying current with industry demands often necessitates changes to our curriculum. 

Students who leave the program for more than two semesters (Fall, Spring), will need approval from the Program Director to return and may be required to repeat courses or modify the original degree plan.

Information on Employment Practices

Pursuing a career in any field within the healthcare industry will typically require evidence of vaccinations, immunizations, drug testing, fingerprint clearance and a background check. Students should be prepared to provide this information to any potential employer and may be required to provide this information in order to complete the Practical Experience (Internship).
