Allied Health Careers

Allied health programs train people for careers in support of medicine. The programs are two-year associate degree or four-year baccalaureate programs. Science is the foundation of each of the allied health curricula. However, because they are applied programs their administration is not under the same administrative umbrella that traditionally include the pre-professional disciplines. Although allied health is not the focus of this web site, sufficient links are provided to allow students to learn about these alternate career paths. This information may be helpful to 

students who are not prepared to make the commitment in time and effort required for a professional program or who began with the goal of professional school only to discover his or her academic credentials to be less than presentable by the end of the junior or senior year.
