Admissions Procedures
The admission requirements are identical for the EMT-Paramedic (one-year technical diploma) and the Paramedic Technician (Associate Degree) program to support articulation between programs. To apply to the Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic Technician program, please complete the following and submit documents to the MSTC Admissions Office:

Step 1:

1. Complete an MSTC application form and return it with the $30 non-refundable application fee.
   
   
2. Complete the Accuplacer or ACT test. Minimum scores required:
   
• Reading-Accuplacer score of 55
• Sentence Skills–Accuplacer score of 60
• Math–Accuplacer score of 34
ACT equivalents for above scores are acceptable.
If a student does not meet the required test scores, they may retest or complete an identified structured course(s) in the Academic Success Center.


3. Submit an official copy of all academic transcripts, including high school, college or university, and HSED/GED.
   
   
4. Complete a Background Information Disclosure (BID) form and submit $15 for Caregiver Background check. The Wisconsin Caregiver Law requires a background check.

When the requirements for Step 1 are completed, the student will be conditionally admitted to the program and may be eligible for financial aid.

Step 2:
To be eligible to enroll in Paramedic core courses, complete the following requirements:

1. Complete Intro to Reading and Study Skills with a grade of "C" or better, an Accuplacer Reading score of 95 or higher, or ACT equivalent. Complete Written Communications course with a grade of "C" or better, an Accuplacer Sentence Skills score of 103 or higher, or ACT equivalent.
   
   
2. Complete College Mathematics with a grade of "C" or better, Accuplacer Math score of 79 or higher, or ACT equivalent.
   
   
3. Submit a current Wisconsin EMT license.
   
   
4. Once all of the Step 2 requirements are completed the paramedic intent to enroll form must be submitted to the MSTC Admissions Office. The intent to enroll form will be used to indicate which year you wish to enroll in the paramedic core courses. Core course placement will be based upon enrollment caps in each cohort.

MSTC only accepts enrollments for the part-time paramedic core courses in odd numbered years (2011, 2013, etc.).
