In order to provide varied and high -quality clincal experiences, students may be required to travel to sites throughout the region and state for clinical experiences and will be responsible for
travel/lodging expenses related to these experiences. Clinical experiences may involve several weeks
of 3-5 days per week at regional and statewide sites.
7. " I have all but one pre-requisite completed. Can I still apply? "
All pre-requisites must be completed prior to beginning classes in the Fast Track option.
8. " I took business statistics (or statistics in an accredited school of oriental medicine, etc.); will this meet the requirement?"
This question will be answered on a case-by-case basis. You will need to submit a course description
and syllabus for evaluation. In general, if the statistics course covers descriptive and inferential
statistics, it is acceptable.
