Cardiovascular Technology is a highly
technical component of the Allied Health field. It is desirable
that the student enter the Program with a strong foundation in
English language skills, mathematics, and related sciences.
Because of the increasing number of patients who speak a
language other than English, a second-language proficiency is an
asset.
