Develop critical thinking and decision-making skills to effectively manage emergency situations.
Combine online learning, part or full-time study, and six academic terms, to create a flexible and personalized schedule. Receive 40 credits for your paramedic license along with credits for life experience, including your certifications, professional licenses, and on-the-job training.
