Health Sciences - Practical Nursing Concentration

The Health Sciences Associate of Science degree program gives students the opportunity for a concentration in Practical Nursing while earning an associate degree. This program is designed to better prepare students for career opportunities in the medical field while it strengthens and broadens the student’s skills in other areas.

Practical Nurses work in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. Employment prospects are excellent and there are many more opportunities emerging. Employment of Practical Nurses is projected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to grow much faster than average as healthcare expands outside the traditional hospital setting. Home healthcare services are also expected to grow faster than average because of the growing number of older persons and technological advances that make it possible to bring increasingly complex treatments into the home.
