Associate Degree

The EMS degree program is designed as a career option for professionals employed in EMS or public safety careers. Promotion in these fields frequently requires individuals to obtain an Associate in Science (AS) or Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree. The AS and AAS degrees in EMS require completion of the First Responder, Emergency Medical Technology, and Paramedic certificates. Work sites for EMS personnel are in fire departments, EMS services (public and private), hospital emergency departments, industrial health and safety organizations, or other public safety agencies. Typically EMS professionals with an AS or AAS degree work in educational, administrative, or advanced clinical settings.
