Mixing adult and secondary students has been very positive for both groups.  The adult students serve as excellent role models for the secondary students, and both groups learn from each other.

Acceptance into programs varies from program to program. The allied health programs use a selection process that is based on a number of criteria, including ACT scores, prerequisite classes, and recommendations. A counselor or other staff member is available to provide guidance for all potential students.
