General Coursework & Advisement: Medical Assisting coursework must follow the sequence listed in the course catalog (catalog.ntcc.edu). All courses listed under your selected program are required, and advisement is highly encouraged on a semester basis to stay on track with your individual goals. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure non-MDCA coursework is completed prior to the expected graduation date. -
- Behavioral and biological sciences older than five years must be repeated.
- All required coursework (including general curriculum) must be completed with a “C” grade or better to be considered complete.
Prerequisites: Students may complete any general education requirements before the program if they choose to do so, but only designated pre-requisite courses are required to be complete by program start (Fall of each academic year). Any student requesting an exemption from these guidelines must apply in writing to the medical assisting director, April Brannon. Decisions will be individually based.
Admissions: After completing your application, you may be contacted for an interview. Upon admission to the program, you will be enrolled in coursework as described in the course catalog to ensure adequate completion. Financial aid, compliance with college requirements as well as awareness of academic standing is the student’s responsibility.
