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.

Students in the School of Health Professions are required to conduct themselves according to an honor code, exhibit professional behavior, communicate effectively in English, provide proof of health insurance and immunizations, and participate in a criminal background check. They may also be required to submit to random urine drug testing at clinical sites.
