Health Sciences Programs Accepting Applications

Edison State Community College is currently accepting applications for its Medical Laboratory Technician and Respiratory Care associate degree programs and its RN to BSN bachelor’s degree program.

The MLT program trains students to obtain, process, test, and evaluate patient biological samples, including blood and other body fluids. Laboratory test results and information gathered aid physicians in making accurate diagnoses and choosing appropriate patient treatments.

Students in the MLT program will become familiar with the use and maintenance of equipment used in a clinical laboratory. They will complete intensive coursework on campus and gain hands-on practice at participating clinical sites.

The National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences accredits Edison State’s MLT program. Students must complete the MLT application by April 30, 2026, to begin in the 2026 fall late semester beginning in October.

Edison State’s RN to BSN completion program focuses on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to practice evidence-based, client-centered nursing. The program spans four semesters and consists of seven nursing courses, along with general and technical electives. Students will complete coursework online with possible residency days. The program includes a practicum in the final nursing courses with an approved preceptor in a clinical setting selected by the student.

Students in the program will support nursing practices with clinical judgment; integrate research and current evidence-based practices into nursing judgment; combine standards of practice, effective communication, delegation, and collaboration skills to further improve partnerships across all health care disciplines; and evaluate the impact of technology used to provide safe, efficient, and high-quality care.

The RN to BSN completion program will accept applications until July 31, 2026, for admission to the 2026 fall semester cohort. Students must meet with an Edison State advisor before applying. Schedule an appointment by calling Student Affairs at 937.778.7850 or emailing.

Edison State’s Respiratory Care program prepares students to use the treatment processes, ventilators, and other equipment that make respiratory therapists a valuable part of a patient’s care team. Students will complete courses in classrooms and laboratories and gain clinical experiences that build skills and allow for the demonstration of proficiency in real-life settings.

After completing the program, students will be eligible to take the Respiratory Therapist Multiple-Choice exam required for licensure as a Certified Respiratory Therapist. The Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care has granted provisional accreditation to Edison State’s Respiratory Care program.

Edison State’s Physical Therapist Assistant program is accepting applications on a case-by-case basis until May 31, 2026. The next program-specific application period for Edison State’s Registered Nursing, LPN/ADN Transition, and Practical Nursing programs will open on June 15, 2026, and close on July 31, 2026.
