    A few things i learned today during todays session are , students admitted at city tech with an i treat in any clinical programs are placed in the undeclared/unclassified majors. A skill to be successful as a nurse is specialized knowledge,skill and independent decision making. I think i’d like to learn more about radiology.

      There are many ways to learn about your major exploring the city tech website does not hurt and asking professors in that program what exactly they teach and ask from students does not hurt most of the time.

    What i learned today about the health science department is that it all depends on your major there is a minimum gpa average that are needed and that able for you to get in the medicals program you need to wait until you get approved from the program which can take very long for some people.

    • David Mendez Medina

      It may take a while to get accepted into the program but while you wait enjoy yourself at city tech and find clubs you want to join and activities you want to do. Stay positive even if it takes a while.

    • Christian Lozano

      It’s definitely a lot that you need to do to get into the program. You should probably prepare for it to take 5 years if you don’t take summer classes.

    What I learned about the health science department was the different requirements that city tech has for a couple of programs. For instance, dental hygiene. I learned it’s about a 2–3-year process. The GPA requirements are about a 2.5-3.4 and the limited seats that they have for the program. Personally, I would like to go more in dept on what to expect when entering these types of programs and more of there, benefits.

    • Christian Lozano

      All I can say for sure is that you need to make sure you stay on top of your academics. Even though lower GPAs are the minimum, the higher GPAs are what you need to aim for if you want a good chance of getting in. You also need to prepare to study A LOT.

  8. Julio Verdugo

    For my major biomedical info what i learned is that for all required courses in the major they should be a grade of C or higher as well as the total required credits for the degree is 120 credits. And a world language course should be taken. I would like to learn about being a registered nurse.

    • Christian Lozano

      For courses in your major, definitely do your best to get high grades because they matter a lot more in the health fields than any other major.

    What I learned from the health science session was that in order to get into the nursing department I will have to complete all my pre-reqs and get very good stable grades/GPA. I will also have to apply for the nursing test as soon as I finish my pre-req classes. One major I would like to learn more about is Radiology.

  10. Nour Bahlool

    In the session about Health Sciences I learned more about my major that I didn’t know before such as more minor details that aren’t normally mentioned. I also learned to maintain a high GPA and not what is written In the guidelines because it’s more competitive in those areas. I would like to learn more about the Psych departmental City tech.

  11. Christopher Ortega

    When I heard information about my major which is Radiology, I heard about the extra years I have to do after my pre-requisites when I hopefully get in the program. Also I heard it is not easy. I have to maintain a GPA around 2.7 but I want to aim higher that to make sure I am surely to get in the program.

    For the radiology program I learn that I have to have a certain amount of credits and a minimum GPA in order to get into the program. It’s not as easy as it seems to get into the program it’s actually hard to get in but as long as you did all of your work in your classes and passed you should be able to get in successfully. It can take up to 2-5 years for you to get into the program . I would love to learn more about the radiology program.
