Some programs require a few extra steps

Applying gets you accepted to PPSC, but a few programs, like nursing, radiologic technology, and dental hygiene, have extra steps before you can start program-specific coursework. That might mean a supplemental application or completing prerequisites. We’ll walk you through what’s needed along the way.
