Selective Admissions
Welcome to the Office of Selective Admissions for the School of Health
Professions at CCBC!
We are located on the Essex Campus in Building J, room 101. We provide
a variety of services related to outreach and recruitment and career
counseling for students who are interested in a career in an allied
health field. We also receive and process the applications for all of
the credit programs in the School of Health Professions (except
Physician Assistant, which has an on-line application service). If you
have questions about admissions for any of the SHP programs, please call
us at 410-780-6112 or stop by the office during our regular hours:
Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You may also contact us at
our email: ccbcahsadmission@ccbcmd.edu
All credit programs in the School of Health Professions (SHP) are
selective admissions programs. Application for admission to these
programs is a separate process from admission to CCBC. Admission to the
college does not imply admission to any of the programs in the SHP.
Admission is competitive and selective and may depend upon factors such
as: grades in prerequisite courses, patient contact experience,
reference letters, interviews, preadmission testing, and overall CCBC
GPA. Each program has its own unique admission criteria.
The Selective Admissions Application is not available on-line. Contact
the Office of Selective Admissions and an application will be mailed to
you. The application is also available in the counseling and
admissions areas on all three main campuses, the extension centers, and
the Office of Selective Admissions. Some programs require additional
application materials – contact the Office of Selective Admissions to
find out if your program of interest has additional requirements.
Effective July 1, 2006, there is a $15.00 fee required for processing
the Selective Admissions Application. This fee applies to all credit
programs in the SHP that have application deadlines on or after July 1,
2006. Students pay the fee and submit the Selective Admissions
Application to the Bursar’s Office on any campus or extension center.
Students may also mail the application along with a check or money order
payable to CCBC to the Bursar’s Office on any campus or extension center.
Any external transcripts, evaluations of international transcripts,
Advanced Placement scores, CLEP scores or other required paperwork will
be submitted to the Office of Selective Admissions, CCBC Essex, Room J
101, 7201 Rossville Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21237.
Students who are involved in preparation for careers in any of the
healthcare professions are held to a higher standard of accountability
than the at-large student body. Students enrolled in programs in the SHP
are expected to conduct themselves according to an honor code, exhibit
professional behavior, communicate effectively in English, provide proof
of health insurance and immunizations, and may be asked to submit to a
criminal background check and random urine drug testing.
Listed below are the programs, the campus where the program is located,
the prerequisites, and the application deadlines. Be advised that all
application paperwork, including reference letters, if required, and all
external transcripts must be in your application folder in the Office of
Selective Admissions by the application deadline.
