Program Requirements

Enrollment in discipline classes is limited. Meeting the program requirements does not guarantee progression towards discipline classes. For this reason, the following criteria is used to determine which students will be selected. Students will be ranked according to the number of natural science and general education courses required for the program that have been successfully completed (see table below). Please note that there is no waiting list.

Criteria for Selection into the Program:

  • Ranking of natural science and general education courses completed
  • Overall Grade Point Average (GPA)
  • Florida residents will be given preference over non-residents, as well as students who are requesting a second milestone review.

Transfer Students

If you have previously attended any college or university other than Miami Dade College, you must arrange for that institution to send official transcripts to MDC’s Transcript Evaluation department located at the Kendall campus prior to the target date of May 1st for an August acceptance.

Students who have attended foreign colleges must submit original transcripts and a certified English translation before February 1st to the Registrar at the Medical Campus for evaluation. For details, please call 305-237-4141. Students who have attended a foreign allied health or nursing program should consult the Miami Dade College catalog for more information about how to have their transcripts, diplomas, and credentials evaluated for U.S. equivalency.
