Note:

The number of students accepted into the professional component is limited. Matriculating students typically apply during the spring semester of their freshman year. Transfer students are encouraged to apply when they have completed or are enrolled in prerequisite course equivalents. Prerequisite courses include Athletic raining 110, 210, 210L, 212, 212L, 225, and 280. At the time of application students must submit, along with the application, evidence of job shadowing hours, current emergency cardiac care certification, physical, technical standards, and a copy of official  transcripts. The following selection criteria and weightings will beused to rate and rank applicants: grade point average for all college or university course work (35 percent), reference evaluations (35 percent), responses to application questions (20 percent), and high school grade point average (ten percent). Formal acceptance into the professional component of the program requires a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and successful completion of prerequisite courses. Successful completion of a course requires a grade of C or better. Retention in the professional component is contingent on meeting academic standards. If a student fails to meet these academic standards probation and dismissal can result.
