The School of Allied Health Sciences is currently served by two departments: Nursing and Health Occupations, which offer programs leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, Associate of Applied Science in Medical Laboratory Technology, Associate of Science in Nursing, Associate of Science in Dental Hygiene, Associate of Applied Science in Radiologic Technology and Associate of Applied Science in Respiratory Therapy, an Institutional Certificate in Licensed Practical Nursing and an Institutional Certificate in Dental Assisting. Through the organization of health occupations educational programs into one area, a common core curriculum is operational which fosters the team concept of health care and the integration and application of the basic biomedical sciences to patient needs.
