The HIT Admissions Committee will select each year’s class from the pool of applicants who meet minimum admission requirements. Any application with incomplete records will not be considered for admission. The admission process is competitive, and completion of minimum requirements is not a guarantee of admission. Priority consideration for admission will be given as follows:

1. In-district students who complete program prerequisites and/or general education coursework at MCC;
2. Out-of-district students who complete program prerequisites and/or general education coursework at MCC;
3. Mississippi residents who complete program prerequisites and/or general education coursework elsewhere;
4. Out-of-state students check with the Pre-Health Education Advisor for selection details and deadlines.

After program admission and prior to classes beginning, students must provide proof of immunization for MMR.

A drug screening test will be scheduled after classes begin. A Mantoux Two-Step TB Skin Test will be scheduled after classes begin.   

All students admitted into the program will be required to pay for fingerprinting and background checks which will be performed after admission and prior to clinical laboratories. These fees will be attached as registration fees. There are certain convictions that will prevent an individual from being eligible to participate in clinical experiences. If a student is unable to participate in clinical experiences, he/she will be dismissed from the program.
