HESI Testing
Part of the admissions process for the Dental Hygiene, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Echocardiography, and Radiography programs.
The HESI has been nationally validated to be an accurate tool for identifying candidates with the greatest chance for program success and allows for review of all candidates fairly and accurately.
The HESI exams will be offered annually in April, August, and November. You will have one testing and one retesting opportunity per June to June admissions cycle.
