PRINCE GEORGE'S COMMUNITY COLLEGE


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.

Emergency Medical Technician–Paramedic*
Health Information Technology**
Nuclear Medicine Technology**
Practical Nursing Certificate Program
Registered Nursing Degree Program
Radiography (X-Ray)**
Respiratory Therapy** *

During the first two years of this program, priority for admission will be given to employees of the Prince George’s County Fire Department. **Designated as statewide programs, out-of-county students should review Statewide Instructional Programs on page 20 of the college catalog.

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.
