* If you plan to apply to a Montgomery College selective admission program in the health sciences, you may elect a pre-health science/general studies major while your application to the selective program is pending. Your
interest in a health science program will be recorded; however, your actual major will be in general studies until you are ofcially admitted to the selective program. Refer to the Montgomery College Catalog for specic
admissions requirements for these programs. Use the “pre” code associated with the program, e.g., 570 Pre-Nursing or 580 Pre-Physical Therapist Assistant, or you may choose any other Montgomery College major while
your application to a health science program is pending. If unsure, contact a counselor for advice.
Students planning to transfer to a four-year degree program in nursing are advised to check with the desired transfer institution to determine the requirements of the institution.
Refer to the Montgomery College Catalog for specic information regarding letters of recognition. Students seeking only a letter of recognition are considered nondegree seeking and are not eligible for nancial aid. 
If your transfer major or area of concentration does not appear in the Programs of Study list, select General Studies. To receive
appropriate advising, please select the code that most closely reflects your Montgomery College and/or eventual transfer major.
