About the Application

Applicants must have a high school diploma, state-approved equivalency credential or college degree. Admission to some programs is competitive because of the limited number of openings and/or prerequisites.

Bristol has an open enrollment policy in keeping with the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education’s “Open Door” philosophy. The open enrollment policy does not apply to students seeking admission into the following programs: Clinical Laboratory Science, Culinary Arts, Dental Hygiene, Medical Assisting, Nursing, Occupational Therapy Assistant, and Phlebotomy. Learn more about the Health Science Admissions Requirements here.

International Students seeking to enroll at Bristol on an F-1 Student Visa must meet additional criteria in order to be admitted.
