If the Major Course Requirement credits awarded from a professional education program total less than 24 credits, the balance may be chosen from the list, which are all 3- or 4-credit courses. Keep in mind that the number of credits of Additional Course Requirements plus the number of credits awarded toward Major Course Requirement credits must total 24 credits.
- ECC students who completed college-level course work in Dental Assisting, Dental Hygiene, Dietary Manager, Massage Therapy, LPN, Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant, Radiography, Respiratory Care, and Vision Care Technology programs but who did not complete a specific degree many apply their professional credits toward the Health Science degree.
- Students may not earn two degrees in the same discipline.
- The minimum passing grade for all program-related courses is “C”. If you earn a grade below “C”, you need to repeat that course.
- Please meet with a Division of Health Sciences academic advisor (faculty member) to receive evaluation of professional education program credits. (Up to 24 credits may be awarded toward the Major Course Requirements.)
Notes:
- For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements.
- This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ENG 101 College Composition I, HST 101 World Civilization I, MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics). Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.
Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
- Advance to a bachelor’s degree program specializing in health education, health care informatics, or health care administration;
- Secure job promotions within health-related fields for which no specific degree exists; and
- Prepare for employment in fields such as health services administration, health computing, or health education.
