Applicants must submit the following information to the Admissions Office:

  • Completed and signed application for admission and a $25 nonrefundable application fee.
  • Official high school or GED transcripts and/or official college transcripts from all colleges attended in the past (see General Admission Requirements). 
  • Valid COMPASS, ASSET, SAT, or ACT test scores (see COMPASS Placement Examination). 
  • Proof of legal presence in the United States.
  • Official Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS V) (must be completed before Admission Deadline for term student wishes to enroll). TEAS V scores will be used for selective admission to the program when demand exceeds capacity.

Before beginning HIMT coursework, applicants must complete the general core courses Anatomy and Physiology I (BIOL 2113 and BIOL 2113L) or Survey of Human Anatomy (BIOL 2100), College Algebra (MATH 1111) or Statistics (MATH 1127), and Composition and Rhetoric (ENGL 1101) with grades of C or higher.

Applicants transferring from other colleges must confirm the transferability of credit for these courses with the college's director of registration and records by the application deadline.

Students should be aware that the commission of a felony before or during their enrollment in this program may prevent them from participating in practicum or externship courses, which will ultimately prevent them from completing the program and will jeopardize their ability to sit for the RHIT certification examination.
