EDT classes begin in the Fall semester, and the program's selection process is first-come, first-served. Applicants who have met all minimum admission requirements and submit a completed program application will be selected for available EDT slots based on the date the program application was received.
Once accepted into the EDT program, students are required to attend a mandatory departmental orientation and complete all clinical site requirements. Students will be eligible to register for EDT classes after the mandatory departmental orientation.
Applicants interested in learning more about the EDT program and careers also can check out the non-degree Career Exploration: Electroneurodiagnostic Technology course. The four-week, Workforce Continuing Education course is offered each semester in the evenings. It consists of four hours of online lectures and four hours of in-person labs and allows you to learn the career basics.
