Associate Degree in Health Science
Our associate degree in Health Science can be completed in a variety of ways. You have the flexibility to plan a course of study that best suits your educational and professional needs through focusing on one of the following four areas: health care career exploration, pre-professional, associate degree completion, and transfer to a baccalaureate degree. You will work closely with an academic advisor to determine goals and develop a plan of study.
Health Care Career Exploration
This option provides students pursuing a general degree in Health Science the opportunity to explore various careers and aspects of health care. This track is intended to serve students who have not yet decided on a specific health care profession but are interested in pursuing a career in health care.
Associate Degree Completion
This option allows individuals who have already obtained a nationally recognized certification or license the opportunity to gain collegiate credit and work towards the completion of an associate degree. Additionally, students completing certificate program requirements in Histologic Science and Medical Billing and Coding may apply these credits towards completion of this associate degree.
Transfer option
This option allows students to complete the degree program with the intention of pursuing a bachelor's degree in Health Science or a related field.
Students interested in pursuing careers in Histologic Science and Medical Billing and Coding can simultaneously pursue a certificate in these areas, while earning an associate degree in Health Science. In addition, students who complete their certificate in Medical Assisting can also apply those credits toward the associate degree in Health Science. Students should see their academic advisor for more information.
