Associate of Science in Allied Health
 

The Associate of Science in Allied Health allows students from a number of health care professions to advance their qualifications in the health and human services fields. Students trained in many medical technician or medical assistance programs, for example Medical Transcription, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy, Radiology, Medical Records, or EMT/Paramedic, complete a broad range of general education and allied health core courses that provide expanded awareness of allied health as a field of knowledge and practice.

If you transfer 30 credits from a previous allied health specialty into our Allied Health Degree program, you need only take another 30 semester credits to complete your associate’s degree. The 30 credits from a curriculum completed at another accredited school must be in the core courses in one of the following allied health fields:

• Anesthesiology
  • Athletic Training
• Cardiovascular Technology   • Cytotechnology Diagnostics
• Medical Sonography   • EEG Technology
• Medical Illustration   • EMT/Paramedic
• Lab Technician   • Medical Assistant
• Histologic Technology   • Blood Bank Technology
 
 

Graduates of the Associate of Science in Allied Health will demonstrate

  • General knowledge of science, social science, and language arts expected of someone who has earned a degree
  • Functional knowledge and understanding of allied health theories and practice
  • Active participation as professionals in allied health fields.

The Associate of Science in Allied Health can be associated with numerous health care specialties. The U.S. Department of Labor forecasts growth in nearly all health related fields that is faster than the national average. Additionally, health care workers who have achieved certification through non-degree programs can expect higher salaries and more opportunities for advancement by adding the A.S. in Allied Health credential.
