Notice on background checks and drug screens: Students who participate in this post-baccalaureate program are assigned to off-site clinical experiences. These sites frequently run criminal background checks and/or drug screens before attendance is permitted. The University will honor the wishes of the site if they reject a student whose criminal background check raises any concern. Similarly, each state has its own rules with regard to granting licensure to individuals who have criminal records. Please research and consider your own circumstances before applying to the Program.
