Students should apply for school admission as soon as possible in order to be officially accepted for their chosen program and starting date. A high school diploma or its equivalent and an admission form are the first steps students need to take to meet the basic college admission requirements. Other information may be needed to complete the application process.
All applicants are required to complete a personal interview with
an admissions representative. Parents and/or spouses are encouraged
to attend. This gives applicants and their families an opportunity
to see the school's equipment and facilities and to ask questions
relating to curriculum and career objectives. Personal interviews
will also enable school administrators to determine whether an
applicant is acceptable for enrollment into the program.
