Notes
This is a graduate program. In addition to the requirements listed above, students must also complete a Bachelor’s Degree with a 3.00 cumulative G.P.A. from an accredited college or university. Students must have a 2.75 GPA in Science prerequisites. All prerequisite courses must be completed with a “C” or better and must be no older than 7 years at the time of admission. Please meet with a PCC Academic Advisor to develop an effective transfer plan that will meet your individual needs. Students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree should meet with an advisor from NCNM.
PCC endeavors to create accurate transfer guides for students; however, requirements may change without notice. Students are responsible for working with PCC advisors and their transfer institution to ensure that their academic plan will meet requirements and timelines.
