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 allied 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.
Penn College recognizes that many healthcare professionals work full time or have other commitments that would preclude them from enrolling as a full-time student. With this knowledge, we have devised a program that meets almost everyone's schedule! Here is what we offer:
- Majority of required courses are offered as distance education courses (over the Internet)
- Previous college credits can be transferred
- Summer coursework is available
- Very user-friendly
- Excellent electronic library resources
- Academic adviser is a faculty member or administrator in the School of Health Sciences
- Did we mention that most of our courses can be taken at home, at work, while on vacation, etc.? The majority of the courses can be taken over the Internet!
