Health Science Professions


This pathway constitutes the first two years of a four-year allied health degree that generally must be completed at a four-year university.

Students who wish to pursue the A.S. in Nursing or Dental Hygiene should choose this pathway prior to being admitted to those programs. Separate admission is required to become a nursing or dental hygiene student at the College. Admission to these programs is highly selective. Following the Health Science Professions pathway in no way guarantees admission to the nursing or dental hygiene program.

This pathway is not appropriate for students who wish to be pre-medical, pre-dental or pre-pharmacy majors at a four-year university.
