Luzerne County Community College offers Health Sciences programs with separate admission requirements. General admission to the college does not guarantee admission to selective Health Sciences programs. After applying, Health Sciences applicants are placed in the General Studies program with pending acceptance into a specific Health Science program. Applicants submit all required application materials by the deadlines for each Health Sciences program.
