The Department of Health Occupations offers programs in Medical Technology, Respiratory (Inhalation) Therapy, Dental Hygiene, Dental Assisting and Radiologic (X-ray) Technology. Other Health Occupations programs are being developed and interested students are urged to contact the Department for late developments. The Department provides a core of courses which are common to the health occupations. These core courses, together with the specific requirements for each of the specific programs, are required for graduation. The Associate of Applied Science Degree will be awarded to students successfully completing programs in Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Therapy, and Medical Laboratory Technology. A certificate of proficiency will be awarded to students successfully completing the Dental Assisting Program. The Bachelor of Science Degree is awarded to individuals who fulfill the requirements in Medical Technology. COKE COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 101.
