Certificates and degrees in health prepare students for employment in a wide range of health professions including diagnostic programs, direct treatment and support programs.

The Health programs at CCAC are limited enrollment programs. This means that students cannot enroll in Health courses without having formally applied and been accepted into a program. Application to Health programs is separate from your general CCAC application. For most health programs, enrollment is competitive and limited by availability of clinical sites and program requirements and generally students need to take required science and mathematics coursework before applying.

For more information on applying to a Health program, please email the title of the program(s) you are interested along with your US Postal Mailing address to Allied Health Career Programs Admission Information (alliedhealthinfo@ccac.edu). Applications are not available online.

CCAC encourages students to apply for certificates (where possible) as they work toward an Associate’s degree requirements. Students should investigate baccalaureate programs as they advance in their chosen careers. Information on specific courses in a selected academic program can be found at MyCCAC. That information includes the course description, requisite courses, location, days, times, faculty member, etc. Note that some courses are only offered during alternate terms. The syllabus (a detailed course description) is available for many courses at http://webapps.ccac.edu/MasterSyllabi/

All courses should be chosen with the help of an academic advisor.

Transfer Opportunities

For students who wish to further their education at the baccalaureate level, there are articulation agreements that specifically accept the health-related Associate Degree towards a bachelor’s degree in health administration, including Carlow University, Point Park University and Robert Morris University. See www.ccac.edu/articulation for details.
