Wor-Wic Community College has added two new degree options for students interested in health care careers.
The associate of science (A.S.) degree in health sciences program is flexible and designed to help students prepare for many different types of health care jobs and move easily to a four-year college. It provides students with a foundation in the biological, physical and social sciences as they relate to human health. It is designed for those seeking entry into a medical profession or planning to transfer into bachelor’s degree programs in fields such as health sciences, public health or health administration. Students can customize classes to match their interests, earn credits for a university transfer and prepare for careers in nursing, therapy or health office work. Learn more at worwic.edu at the health sciences credit program page.
Another new option at Wor-Wic is a pathway for paramedics to an associate degree in nursing (ADN), which allows them to become registered nurses. The pathway previously only included licensed practical nurses (LPNs). Now, paramedics who completed a national accredited paramedic program with an active, unencumbered state paramedic license and National Registry Paramedic certification are eligible. Visit the nursing credit program page at worwic.edu for more information.
Registration for summer and fall credit classes at Wor-Wic opens on April 13, and prospective students may apply at any time via the website.
