Many of LBCC's healthcare programs are special admissions. This means they have specific application requirements, deadlines, and limited enrollment. They also have post-admission requirements. Here, you can find answers to application questions, student resources, contact info for appointments, and more.

Our healthcare programs with additional requirements include:

Note: LBCC also offers a non-credit Nursing Assistant training. Information on the training, application requirements, and application timelines may be found at Nursing Assistant.

Our advisors are also able to assist students who are completing program prerequisites through LBCC before applying to another institution's healthcare program. Examples include:

  • Dental Hygiene
  • Medical Sonography

 

Chat With Our Virtual Assistant

Have a quick question? Not sure about an application requirement? Can't find a deadline? Start with our virtual assistant, who specializes in our healthcare programs' application guides.

 

At the top of this page, you will find links to LBCC’s healthcare program webpages. From the program page, select the "application guide" button. This will show you application timelines, requirements, selection criteria, and more. If the guide shows old dates or years, please check back soon. Updated information will be posted once the program finalizes details for the next application cycle. The criteria may change between cycles, so it's best to meet with us after reviewing the updated guide. We can help you make any needed adjustments.

If you want to learn more about the other programs LBCC offers, visit LBCC’s Programs page. There are many great options available.

LBCC’s healthcare programs vary in competitiveness each year. The Diagnostic Imaging and Nursing fields are very popular. These programs often get more than double the qualified applications than available seats. Other programs, while usually less competitive, also receive more applications than seats. Because of this, you may need to apply more than once to get an admission offer. 

You can apply to more than one healthcare program, but you can only accept one. If you get offers from multiple programs, you must choose one and decline the others. Advisors are available to help you compare your options, understand requirements, and explore different programs and career paths.

Yes. If you want to apply for admission next time, you must reapply during the next application window.

Important note: application criteria may change between cycles. So, it's important to review the updated application guide when it’s available. It's highly recommended to also meet with an advisor to learn about any process changes.

Yes! LBCC also offers the following health/healthcare-related majors:

Our Healthcare Planning Specialist, Dorothy Moran, can help you navigate the application requirements. We offer planning services that include reviewing and comparing program applications, creating education plans, providing information about program competitiveness, and more.
