ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCE (AS)

The Allied Health Science program is your solution to building the knowledge you need before nursing school.

Most advanced healthcare-related degrees start with the same thing – a strong foundational knowledge of the basic sciences. The Associate of Science in Allied Health Science is a liberal arts-based degree program designed to successfully prepare you for further education in the healthcare field while benefitting from a more intimate, interactive, and cost-efficient environment.

What is Allied Health Science?

Designed to be the springboard for your professional goals no matter what allied health career path you choose to pursue, the Allied Health Science program will build your knowledge of the health and life sciences. This is the knowledge you’ll pull upon as you further your education and dive into patient care and advanced topics like evidence-based diagnoses, evaluation and treatment of disease, promoting wellness, and the administration of healthcare systems.
