You will work closely with an academic advisor to determine goals and develop a plan of study.

Healthcare Career Exploration

This track is intended to serve students who have not yet decided on a specific healthcare profession but are interested in pursuing a career in healthcare.

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 Paramedic Studies, and Histologic Science may apply these credits towards completion of this associate degree.
