Admission to Health Technology Programs
The health technology programs listed
below have limited enrollment capacity and rigorous academic standards.
Each requires special procedures for admission, initial enrollment,
and continuation in the program.
Priority will be given to the admission of residents of Prince
George’s County when possible. However, in programs designated as
statewide (radiography, health information technology, respiratory
therapy, and nuclear medicine), 25 percent of the available seats
will be reserved for residents of other Maryland counties until
a priority registration deadline published in the schedule of classes
has passed. Then all remaining seats will be made available without
regard to county of residence.
Students interested in petitioning for admission to any of these
programs must first meet with a health technology advisor to obtain
a list of admission criteria and prerequisite coursework. The petition
for program admission should not be completed until all criteria
have been met and the student is enrolled in the last prerequisite
course. Advisors’ offices are in the Largo Student Center, Room
156.
Call 301-322-0725 for more information.
