Admissions Procedures

Submit completed application with $75. non-refundable application fee. (There are no application deadlines; however, classes are limited in size, and enrollment ends when classes are filled. Prospective students are encouraged to begin the application process as soon as possible.) Upon receipt of your application, you will be contacted within seven days to set up your personal (on-site) or telephone interview. Once you have been accepted, you will be notified and a $1,000. non-refundable enrollment fee will be due to hold your place in the class you have selected.

International Students: We are authorized under Federal Law to enroll non-immigrant international students. You will need to obtain a non-immigrant M-1 visa and attach the following additional pieces to your Black Hills Health & Education Center admissions application: a birth certificate, documentation of an English as a Second Language Exam (i.e., TOEFL) with an acceptable score (or proof of employment in an English speaking business where you use English routinely for your employment position), and your transcript/diploma translated into English for review. Portions of our program, especially anatomy and physiology are academically intense, and a strong English vocabulary comprehension is an absolute necessity. You will need to be proficient in English. Before applying, please request more information from our staff via telephone. Please contact a U.S. embassy near you for instructions for acquisition for the necessary visa.
