Enrollment into the program’s discipline courses is limited.
Selection is based on completion of the requirement courses. Graduates become licensed after graduation.
To request a milestone review to determine eligibility to start discipline courses, you must have completed the requirement courses below with a grade of “C” or higher or be currently enrolled in them. Students currently enrolled in these requirements must complete them by the start of the Fall semester.
Top priority is given to students that have completed all of the required general education and science courses by the target review date of May 1st. GPA is also a factor in the selection process.
