Program Description
The Associate of Applied Science in Healthcare Services is designed for individuals working in a health-related area who have obtained, or are working toward, a technical certification, license, or are interested in qualifying for entry-level roles in healthcare. This degree offers two paths. Students may initially finish a certificate program at Mountainland Technical College or students may work with an advisor to create a health-related elective schedule geared toward their interest and future education needs. Upon completion of the AAS in Healthcare Services students are prepared to begin an entry-level healthcare position or to pursue a bachelor’s degree in health science or other healthcare related fields.
