Health Sciences majors at Pasadena City College are selective and competitive programs that, mostly, require special requirements. Follow these steps to ensure a successful application.

How to Apply

1. Review Health Sciences Admission Requirements

Review your intended health sciences program, its admissions requirements and deadlines carefully. Some require specific completion of courses while others may require completion of CPR/Basic Life Support certificates. Learn about each program here.

2. Apply to Pasadena City College

If you require a visa to study in the United States, submit the PCC International Application. 

The PCC International Application requires additional supporting documents. Review what supporting documents you need to prepare and upload them after you submit your international application.

After you are accepted to PCC as an international student, you will receive your PCC Student ID and I-20, which is required for your F-1 visa application. Then at that time, you can proceed to Step #3 below.

3. Complete the Health Sciences Program Requirements at PCC

If you do not meet the admission requirements of your intended Health Sciences Program, you can complete your health sciences program’s requirements as a full-time international student at PCC. Continue with next steps in your New Student Checklist to register for classes and prepare for your arrival at PCC. 

Once you have completed the admission requirements for your intended Health Sciences Program as a PCC student, you can submit the Health Sciences program application later. 

Being admitted to PCC does not mean that you automatically qualify for admissions to your desired Health Sciences Program. Check the application deadlines for your Health Sciences Program carefully and follow the program’s admission process to complete your admissions.
