Application Information

All applicants accepted into a Health Sciences program will have a criminal background check performed. This is necessary because of our affiliations with numerous clinical education sites. This will be done through a contracted agency. At the present time, if the program you are planning to enter requires licensure or certification by a national or state organization, it will be the decision of that agency as to your qualifications to apply for licensure or certification. Your acceptance into an OTC Health Sciences program or the completion of the program does not guarantee the eligibility to apply for licensure or certification.  Students with a felony or a significant criminal history may not be able to participate in clinical experiences at some of our sites and may not be able to apply for a license to
practice.
