EHS-Advanced Standing Requirements

The Emergency Health Sciences-Paramedic program will only review currently certified National Registered EMT-Intermediates and Nationally Registered EMT-Paramedics for advanced standing.  A current certification card must be submitted as proof. 

Intermediates accepted into the program are eligible to enter into the professional program at the beginning of the summer semester and are required to meet the same general education requirements as regular EHS-Paramedic students for degree completion.

Paramedics must complete a minimum of 33% of the total credit hours from Jefferson College of Health Sciences in order to be eligible to receive the degree.  All coursework must be approved by the Program Director.  There is no residency requirement.
