Admission to Programs in Health Sciences

Admission to health sciences programs normally requires:

• The completion of all program pre-requisites with a grade of C or better
  and a 2.5 overall minimum GPA.
• A written application to the appropriate department.
• An interview process may be required, normally conducted in the second semester of the freshman year, through which the applicant demonstrates academic preparation, motivation, and maturity appropriate to the field of study.

NOTE:  Admission to specific majors of programs in the Health Sciences, including Nursing, Radiography, Sonography, and Surgical Technology is a separate process from admission to the College and is normally accomplished after completing required pre-requisite courses. All applicants should understand that admission to these programs is highly competitive and the courses of studies are very demanding of both effort and time commitments.  Because of the rigor in these courses, the critical nature of the sequence of the courses, and the accrediting standards related to the material covered, admitted students who fail to conform to the standards of performance inthese majors may be removed from the major.
Transfer applicants from other colleges and universities are welcome. Admissions standards and pre-requisites are the same as for current St. Catharine students.
