qualified applicants may continue after March 15 until the respective class has reached its maximum
capacity.
Applicants for the AAS in Histotechnology are notified via email and mail of admissions decisions.

Application Requirements
Application requirements include satisfactory completion of the application requirements listed below and
the requirements as outlined in each programmatic student handbook. Completion of the application
requirements is required before the applicant file is reviewed by the selection committee. Completion of
the application process does not guarantee selection/admission into the program.

1. High school graduate or successful GED and submit all transcripts of grades.
2. American College Test (ACT) results: a minimum score of 16 is preferred. A Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT) may be submitted in lieu of the ACT, providing the score is 870 or higher. The SAT
is evaluated utilizing an ACT/SAT (Critical Reading + Math) concordance scale available on the
ACT website.
3. Transfer of eight college prerequisite courses as outlined in the professional curriculum section of
this catalog.
4. Personal interview with the selection committee.

Selection Committee
The Histotechnology Selection Committee conducts a personal interview with each qualified applicant.
The committee consists of the Program Director of the school and additional panel member(s) familiar
with the program of study.

Selection Process
The selection committee reviews each qualified applicant file for entry to the school after the file is
complete. Selection for entry is on a competitive basis, as each entering class is limited in number.

The process of selection includes a review of the completed applicant file and the personal interview
score. Each applicant is ranked according to qualifications, with the highest qualified being number one.
The process is continued until the class is filled. Qualified applicants not included in the selected class
number may be placed on the alternate list.
