Highly qualified allied health professionals are needed to respond to the increasing health needs of a growing population. The pre-allied health curriculum is designed to prepare students for entrance into the following programs: dental hygiene, nursing, physical therapy, physician assistant programs, and radiation therapist. The pre-allied health curriculum emphasizes science and liberal arts courses that are required for transfer into these professional schools at other institutions. The curriculum has been designed to fulfill the diverse prerequisites of professional schools in these allied health areas. Students should become familiar with the entrance requirements of the professional program from which they plan to obtain their allied health degree in order to plan a program of study at HCC that includes the appropriate electives.
GENERAL EDUCATION CORE (General education core credits in excess of 36 will transfer as general electives or courses related to the major. Each student’s total of general education and
required courses must equal at least 60 semester hours of credit.)
