To verify course equivalencies from institutions outside of the UH system please visit UHM's Admissions and Records "Transfer Credit Search" website at www.hawaii.edu/admrec/transfer. We do not offer individual transcript evaluation, and strongly urge you to utilize the transfer credit search link. In addition, we do not review course descriptions or syllabi to determine acceptability. Applicants should therefore assess the thoroughness of the course content with instructor of the original course. You may also use the following document to review your course compatibility.
It is also recommended that applicants complete a medical terminology course as additional preparation for the program. Medical terminology is not required, and taking it or not will have no effect on your standing as an applicant.
