Life moves fast, and Allen College understands. That's why we offer an accelerated path. The rigorous coursework and clinical opportunities prepare our students for licensure and rewarding careers. Applicants must have earned 25 college credits, including a minimum of 6 credits of the required natural science coursework, prior to admission review. 65 credits of prescribed general education coursework must be completed before starting the program. While we can provide some of the coursework you'll need online, you may also need to take some courses locally in order to meet all admissions requirements. A Pearson advisor can help you plan which courses to take if you choose this option.
