Are you a healthcare professional interested in obtaining a bachelor's degree?
If so, read the following to learn about the opportunities Pennsylvania College of Technology offers to apllied health professionals.
The Applied Health Studies bachelor's degree is a degree completion program for individuals who are certified, licensed, or registered in a health care profession. For example, many healthcare providers graduate from an accredited healthcare program (i.e., medical radiography, occupational therapy assistant, paramedic, physical fitness, etc.) and earn either an associate's degree or a certificate (i.e., graduates from a hospital-based program). After graduation, many of these students have a desire to continue their education and earn a bachelor's degree. A wide variety of healthcare credentials are eligible for acceptance.
