Center for Health & Biological Sciences

The Center for Health and Biological Sciences includes the Biomedical Equipment Technology, Clinical Laboratory Technology, Physical Therapist Assistant and Radiologic Technology Programs along with the Departments of Nursing, Biology and Physical Education.

The mission of the Center for Health and Biological Sciences is two-fold. The center provides a high quality, relevant educational experience which prepares students for immediate employment in the health related fields of nursing, clinical laboratory technology, physical therapy assistant, biomedical equipment technology and radiologic technology. In addition, the center provides quality educational experiences which prepare students for transfer to a college or university or allow students to meet personal needs. The center will:

• adapt the curricula as necessary to respond to the increasing demands of the certifying/licensing agencies and the workforce needs of the community at large.
• provide educational opportunities, through the use of traditional and distance learning instruction methodologies to meet the needs of students.
• work to develop and maintain articulation agreements with senior institutions.
• maintain a professional and knowledgeable faculty.

Students can satisfy general education core requirements for transfer programs with courses offered through the Department of Biology for pre-professional and professional programs listed on page 61 of the Catalog and Student Handbook.
