The Programs

The Department offers the associate's degree and certificate in Emergency Medical Sciences.  Successful program completion satisfies the eligibility requirements to apply for the paramedic credentialing examinations offered by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT).  Graduates who complete the certificate program are eligible to complete the associate's degree at a later time as long as all requirements of the degree plan are met.

Students can also enroll in individual courses offered by the department, including the Introduction to Emergency Medical Technology (EMS 1602), Foundations of the Paramedic (EMS 2210), Pathophysiology (EMS 2220), Emergency Medical Responder (EMS 1291), and Anatomy and Physiology (EMS 1311).  Students who successfully complete EMS1602 may be eligible to challenge the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) credentialing examinations offered by the NREMT.

Note: Successful completion of the above programs does not itself insure licensure or registration. Each student is responsible for becoming familiar with the applicable licensure and registration requirements.
