Overview
Aiming for a science-driven career in clinical healthcare? The associate of science healthcare pathway gives you the biology, anatomy, physiology and quantitative foundation expected by four-year clinical programs. You’ll move through cellular biology, A&P I and II, psychology, sociology and math, plus medical terminology and health care basics, building a clear understanding of how the human body functions. This pathway prepares you to transfer seamlessly into bachelor’s programs in nursing, exercise science, diagnostic imaging and other technical healthcare fields.

Footnotes
*Students must complete 8 credit hours of science classes with a lab component to meet the Associate of Science degree requirements. Students who have not completed chemistry and biology in high school with a grade of C or better within the past five years must take BIO 1410 to meet prerequisite requirment of BIO 2121, Anatomy and Physiology I. Students who have completed chemistry and biology in high school, may substitute four credit hours of concentration/general education electives for BIO 1410.
**Choose from ENG 1600, ENG 2300, and ENG 2610 to meet the ENG literature GA elective requirement.
***Students must complete five credit hours of math from those listed under mathematics in the transfer module. OT36 math courses include MTH 1070, 1280, 1340, 2100, 2200, 2220, 2242, 2430, 2530; STT 2640, 2650. If students choose Statistics to meet the math requirement, they must complete both STT 2640 and STT 2650.
^Choose from ART 1300, 1001, 1002; MUS 1130; THE 1130, 1133, 2241, 2242; SPN 1111, 1112, 2111, 2112; any HST; any PHL; or ENG 1600, 2250, 2300, 2510, 2520, 2610, 2620 for Arts/Humanities class.
^^These hours should be clearly transferable and count toward the major at the transfer institution. Courses should relate to the major to be pursued or may be used to fulfill additional requirements at the four-year institution. Courses should be carefully planned with an academic advisor.
The program schedule is designed for full-time students who have completed all prerequisites and who have no college preparatory recommendations. Many individuals, especially part-time students and those taking college preparatory requirements, will require additional semesters of study.
NOTE:
In recognition of the growing importance of global awareness, the College also requires that students receiving the Associate of Science degree take at least four courses with significant international content. Courses in the curriculum plan above that meet this requirement are identified with the "GA" designation behind the course name.
All students pursuing the AS degree are required to complete at least 9 credit hours in courses numbered 2000 or higher. The curriculum plan above meets this requirement.
