The Department of Health Sciences, Allied Health and Natural Sciences offers programs that lead to certificates and degrees in the areas of medical assisting, medical lab technician, practical nursing, phlebotomy technician, paramedic, and emergency medical services. Additionally, several of the natural science courses meet the general education requirements for certificate and degree completion.

Several of these programs have selective admission requirements and program pre-requisite courses, which must be completed prior to enrolling in any select admission allied health programs. Students interested in registering for a particular program are advised to consult with an advisor or the program director of the program in which they are interested to learn more about admissions requirements.
