*A new college orientation requirement, completion of the one-credit ACDV 101 course, Transitioning to College, goes into effect spring 2010. If you are a credit student who is new to college in the spring 2010 semester (meaning you have not previously successfully completed college coursework at another institution(s)), you are required to take ACDV 101 during your first semester at CCBC, thereby increasing the number of credits required for the degree to 70 credits. PLEASE NOTE: If you are new to college and completed one or more credit courses successfully at CCBC in the fall 2009 semester, you are ENCOURAGED but NOT REQUIRED to take ACDV 101 in the spring 2010 semester.

Program Description:

This program prepares graduates to operate highly specialized equipment that measures and records the electrical activity of the brain. EEG tracings are used by the physician to evaluate brain disorders such as epilepsy and tumors. Other tests include nerve conduction studies, evoked potential, and polysomnograms.

This program is articulated with Harford Community College. Students complete all science and general education requirements for the program at CCBC. The clinical training component of the program will be provided on the Harford Community College campus and at various clinical sites throughout the metropolitan area. Students participating in this program will transfer credits to Harford Community College and must graduate from there in accordance with the accreditation requirements of the Electroneurodiagnostic Technology program.

Admission to this program is a separate process from admission to the college. Admission to CCBC does not imply admission to Harford Community College or to the EEG program at Harford Community College.

Admission Prerequisites:
Students are required to achieve grades of “C” or better in BIOL 220, Human Anatomy & Physiology I; BIOL 221, Human Anatomy & Physiology II; and maintain an overall minimum GPA of 2.0 for all college courses completed.

CCBC School of Health Professions Policies: Students in the School of Health Professions are expected to conduct themselves according to an honor code, exhibit professional behavior, communicate effectively in English, provide proof of health insurance and immunizations, and participate in a criminal background check. They may be asked to submit to random urine drug testing at clinical sites. Students are expected to incur costs associated with these requirements.
