The health sciences degree consists of foundational courses in science, English, math, social sciences, humanities and healthcare.\n\nTo complete the Associate of Science in Health Sciences degree, each student selects an area of concentration (Healthcare Administration, Healthcare Education or Healthcare Pre-Professional). The degree allows students to customize their educational pathway to meet their preliminary professional educational goals. This degree is especially appropriate for individuals interested in entering the field of healthcare with the goal of pursuing a future medical professional degree (physician, physician assistant, physical therapist and more); healthcare administration; or health education.\n\nIn addition to traditional students, the Health Sciences Degree is appropriate as an educational pathway for medical professionals who desire to advance their careers in healthcare management or education. The degree offers a combination of on-campus and online courses.\n\nStudents pursuing a Health Sciences degree may opt to complete a second major in Cardiovascular Technology, Nutrition and Dietetics, Medical Assisting, Paramedicine, Radiography or Respiratory Therapy. Acceptance into these programs is based upon application to the program and meeting minimum entrance criteria.\n\nWhat tracks are available?\n\nHealth Sciences offers an Associate in Science degree requiring a mix of general education and healthcare-specific courses. Three educational pathways are available including:\n\nHealthcare Administration - Students in this track will take a variety of business and accounting courses to provide fundamental knowledge and skills for entry-level positions in healthcare institutions.\nHealthcare Education - Students in this track will develop and expand the essential teaching skills needed for patient and community education.\nPre-Professional Healthcare Provider - This track is designed for students who wish to complete the first two years of a pre-health profession program while at SMCC and then transfer to four-year academic institutions. Since the requirements of colleges and universities vary widely, it is essential that students choose an intended transfer institution as soon as possible while working closely with their SMCC advisor to carefully design a program pathway of choice."},"ceterms:estimatedCost":[{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:price":2867.0,"ceterms:currency":"US Dollar","ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.smccme.edu/admissions-aid/tuition-fees","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"The costs for this Credential include an estimate for the first academic year as a full time student.
