What is the General Studies: Health Science program?

The General Studies: Health Science program is the perfect place to start for students who are unsure about their ultimate career goals, but know that they are interested in a career in healthcare.

Are there any certificate programs as part of the General Studies curriculum?

An added bonus with the BCC eHealthCareers program is that it has built two certificates, Phlebotomy and/or Emergency Medical Technician, into the General Studies: Health Science degree.

This is well suited for the student that needs to work while continuing to take classes or is still unsure about which program to pursue. Additionally, acquiring a certificate while working on your general courses allows students the chance to gain vital career exposure by working in the field and experiencing additional medical professions.
