Description

If you want to help people live better, safer, healthier lives, consider the Health Sciences Field of Interest (FOI).

Our Health Sciences degrees and certificates are designed to give you comprehensive training for health-related work in the hospital, healthcare, or exercise and fitness settings. In addition to preparing you for employment, the Health Sciences FOI also fully prepares you to transfer to a four-year program. So, whether you want to be a nurse, an EMT, a physical therapist, or a personal trainer, Maricopa Community Colleges' programs give you the flexibility you need to pursue your goals.

If you are ready to find the Health Sciences program that is right for you, select the option below that meets your current goals.

* Students at any Maricopa Community College may need to complete courses at more than one of our colleges.

The bachelor’s degree(s) listed below cost less than a third of university tuition, and are designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to reach your educational goals and be successful in your career. In many cases, these degrees offer university transfer partnerships to help you move seamlessly from a bachelor’s to a master’s degree program. Be sure to check with your advisor, as acceptance is not guaranteed.

The Associate degrees in this list give you the opportunity for an in-depth study of your chosen field.

Many of our Associate degrees will also transfer to a four-year university upon graduation. With these, you can complete most of your general education coursework at Maricopa Community Colleges and have guaranteed acceptance to one of our over 40 university and college partners to complete your Bachelor's degree.

Be sure to check with your advisor if you plan to move on to a four-year university to ensure your degree program credits will successfully transfer.
