Prospective students, thank you for your interest.
We will be accepting applications for our Spring 2021 cohort starting May 1, 2020. The electronic application will be made available by noon of May 1. The acceptances will be offered on a 'first come, first served' basis, contingent upon the completion of prerequisite courses. Applicants must demonstrate that the prerequisites are/will be completed by Spring 2020.
Due to the limited number of clinical positions available at our partner facility, we will be changing to Spring cohort only and no Fall starts as of Sept 7, 2019. If and when we can secure more clinical sites, we will then be able to accept more students. Should you have any questions, please contact us at 619-388-7750 and/or email us at miramarmltt@sdccd.edu.
