You're on your way to becoming a tomorrow maker.
At Penn College, we believe your educational experience should go beyond specialized skills. Real-world ready means taking a broader approach that builds communication skills, inspires collaboration, and encourages exploration of arts, history, and science.
Specialization requires in-depth knowledge and high-level proficiency. Students learn and apply major-specific concepts, skills, and methods.
Perspectives are points of view, offering a variety of ways of understanding, interacting, and influencing the world. Students identify, explain, and utilize the approaches used by academics and professionals to study, analyze, or understand problems, and offer solutions.
Whether you'd like work in a non-direct patient career or are looking to advance your career in the allied-health field, this degree offers flexibility to meet your career goals.
In addition to biological and social sciences, pathology and disease, healthcare documentation and management courses, you'll have 15 credits of allied health electives that allow you to customize your education.
