What is Allied Health Science Emphasis: University Parallel: General Transfer Major?

EXPECTED HOURS FOR A.S. DEGREE: 60

The Allied Health Science A.S. degree is a general degree that allows students to take general education classes in preparation for applying to the Nursing program. While the nursing program at Cleveland State is an A.A.S. degree, this University parallel A.S. degree provides direction for the student taking the general education credits required for the Nursing A.A.S. degree. Even if a student decides not to pursue nursing, the courses listed in this degree provide a solid foundation for a variety of different programs of study.

What can I do with this degree?

The courses required in this degree will start the student on a journey toward acceptance to the Nursing program. The classes taken in this degree will benefit the student even if they do not apply/enter nursing at CSCC, but instead choose to pursue a bachelor in science degree at a four year institution. This degree prepares students well for a baccalaureate degree in many science related or health care related fields.
