Is it possible for a student to be accepted into the PTA program right out of high school?

Students may enter the program directly out of high school or having taken some college courses. If a student has graduated high school within the past five years and has taken courses totaling 12 or more college credits, he/she will be assessed as a high school applicant and as a college applicant. Then the higher point score will be used for the admission decision. Please contact Pre-Health Advisor for further understanding.
