Enrollment in the program is limited. Meeting the admissions requirements does not guarantee program acceptance. For this reason, the selection committee uses the following criteria to determine which applicants will be admitted. Applicants will be ranked according to the number of natural science and general education courses required in program that have successfully completed (see table below). Please note that there is no waiting list.

1. Ranking of natural sciences and general education courses completed

• Florida residents will be given preference over non-residents, as well as students who are reapplying to the program, if they have completed all prerequisites as of September 1st of the previous year.

Final acceptance will be based on the submission of all required documents received at the mandatory program orientation session.
