Program Description
The AS in Health Sciences creates an academic home for the large number of students interested in the health professions. The program exposes students to a variety of health careers, in addition to nursing, while at the same time providing them with industry-aligned, “stackable” certification and experiential learning opportunities.
The program has three options:
- Healthcare Careers Preparation, which prepares students interested in pursuing AAS or bachelor’s programs that lead to careers (e.g., nursing) providing healthcare services directly to patients and consumers.
- Health Administration, which prepares students to understand health services and develop their administrative, organizational, and business skills to apply to healthcare.
- Care Coordination, which prepares students to support patients, consumers and others navigating the healthcare system.
