Program Description:

(Selective Admission)
This program prepares graduates to operate highly specialized equipment that measures and records the electrical activity of the brain as a series of irregular lines on graph paper. These EEG tracings are used by the physician to evaluate brain disorders such as epilepsy and tumors.

This program is articulated with Harford Community College. Students complete all science and general education requirements for the program at CCBC. The clinical training component of the program will be provided on the Harford Community College campus and at various clinical sites throughout the metropolitan area. Students participating in this program will transfer credits to Harford Community College and must graduate from there in accordance with the accreditation requirements of the Electroneurodiagnostic Technology program. The program is designed so that students are required to make a minimum number of trips to the Harford campus, generally not more than 4 or 5 for the entire clinical portion of the program.

Admission to this program is a separate process from admission to the college. Admission to the School of Health Professions programs is competitive and selective and is based on published criteria. Information about admissions processes for the programs in the School of Health Professions and the Selective Admissions Application form are available in the Office of Selective Admissions in Room J-101 on the Essex Campus or by calling 410-780-6112. This information is also available in the Admissions or Records and Registration office on each campus.
