This program is designed for the post-secondary certified/licensed student with additional career and higher educational opportunities. It will provide the initial degree completion process for many disciplines such as Pharmacy Technicians, Surgical Technicians, Licensed Practical Nurses, Ultrasound Technicians, Medical Coding, and Emergency Medical Technicians.
The AAS degree does not confer eligibility to be certified or licensed. The student must come with a prior certificate. The credit value for a license or post-secondary certificate will be assigned according to the number of classroom and clinical hours taken to complete the certificate or license.
This program provides certified/licensed healthcare professionals (e.g., Pharmacy Technicians, Surgical Technicians, Licensed Practical Nurses, Ultrasound Technicians, etc.) an opportunity to earn an Associate's degree and advance in their current employment and/or continue their education to the baccalaureate level.
