Programs Offered
The Emergency Medical Science curriculum is open to currently certified Paramedics. Qualified Paramedics will be granted 48 credit hours for their Paramedic certification and upon completion of the other requirements, will earn an A.A.S. in Emergency Medical Science.
This bridge degree program is designed to further the knowledge obtained in a continuing education Paramedic initial certification class to the A.A.S. degree level of knowledge in emergency medical science. It provides the student an opportunity to gain complex knowledge and competency in the field of EMS and also provides the student with specialized training in EMS Management in order to prepare the student for promotion and career advancement.
The required classes are offered entirely online. All interested Paramedics must speak to the program chair Ashley Pethel (ashley.pethel@rccc.edu) prior to enrollment.
The initial Paramedic certification class, which does not result in a degree, is offered through our Corporate & Continuing Education department.
