NEW BLINN COLLEGE HEALTH SCIENCE ASSOCIATE DEGREE

  

The Blinn College District will offer a new associate degree this fall that prepares students to enroll in one of its health science programs or transfer into a health science program at a four-year university.

Blinn’s Associate of Science in Health Sciences-Nursing provides students the prerequisite courses they need to enter Blinn’s Associate Degree Nursing, Dental Hygiene, Emergency Medical Services, Health Information Technology, Physical Therapist Assistant, Radiologic Technology, and Surgical Technology programs.

It also fulfills many of the core classes within Blinn’s Associate of Applied Science in Fire Science Technology and its Associate of Applied Science in Fire Safety and Health.

Students should speak to Blinn’s Health Sciences Advisor or an academic advisor at the university to which they intend to transfer for specific details.

Graduates who choose to enter the workforce directly may obtain employment in healthcare-related positions such as clinical and medical research, medical writing, health education, and specialized customer service.

The full degree is available on Blinn’s Brenham and Bryan campuses and includes coursework in anatomy and physiology, psychology, composition, ethics, elementary statistics, microbiology, history, government, chemistry, and nutrition.
