Applicants who wish to be considered for admission into the program must submit the following documents to the program director by published date:
- A completed and signed application form (PDF)
- An official transcript from all colleges attended
- Three (3) recommendations (PDF) from persons capable of evaluating the applicant (science or laboratory instructors (preferred), academic advisors, employers, etc.).
- An Interview Request form (PDF)
Qualified applicants will be contacted and scheduled for a personal interview. Interviews will be scheduled through published dates.
Candidates are evaluated according to established criteria by the admissions committee. Students’ past academic records are weighed heavily in the selection process but are not the sole criteria for admission into the program. Prospective students will be exposed to the same interview process and letters of recommendation for each are weighed equally.
All students admitted into the program will be notified electronically of their status. Those accepted are requested to submit a written reply of their intent and a $100.00 non-refundable deposit within 2 weeks of notification. Alternates are also selected and placed on a waiting list should a position become available. Once the deposit is received, the accepted students will receive a packet of all necessary forms and requirements to begin the program in August.
Students accepting a position must submit the following documents to the office of the program director by August 1:
- A final official college transcript
- A completed physical examination form
- A completed immunization testing form, including tuberculosis screening (which may include IGRA)
- Background Check
- Proof of health and liability insurances
- Technical standards/Essential Functions form
