Program Description
The Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) Degree in Health Science is designed for students already working in the healthcare field as paraprofessionals who wish to enhance their educational credentials. They will receive up to 19 college credits for their previous postsecondary training and experience. The evaluation of previous training and experience will be conducted by the School of Nursing and Health Sciences and will be based upon review of transcript(s) from previous educational program(s) and work experience documented in a comprehensive portfolio. Students will complete the remaining credits as outlined to earn the A.A.S. degree.
