Some School of Health Sciences programs have additional requirements beyond those needed to enter AACC.

The following information is only for students applying to Health Sciences programs that require an additional application.


1. Attend an Information Session

Attendance at an information session is highly recommended, though not required, prior to submitting a program application. Information sessions are informal and cover admission and academic requirements, the application and selection process, curriculum, and career opportunities. Sessions, which are conducted by the program faculty, are held virtually or in person and run 30 to 120 minutes, depending on the program. Information sessions are free and there is no registration required to attend.

2. Apply to AACC

Before submitting your Health Sciences program application, you must satisfactorily complete all general AACC admission requirements.

3. Submit a Program Application

Admission to the Health Sciences programs listed below is separate from admission to the college. Program applications are either accepted on a rolling admission basis or by an application deadline for competitive selective admissions. Applications for rolling and selective admission programs are available as Microsoft Forms on this website while the program's application period is open, if applicable. The Registered Nursing program application is available online using the same application portal as the online AACC credit application. Click on a program's requirements link to learn more about the program admission and academic requirements. When applications are available, click on the application link to complete the program application.
