RCC has the classes that will fit into dozens of programs at four-year schools. Start with the Health-STEM program and you’ll be prepared to take the next step to the career of your dreams, such as:
- Dentistry
- Occupational Therapy
- Pharmacy
- Physical Therapy
Program Details
The Health-STEM program takes four semesters, or two years. Within the curriculum, you’ll take all of those core classes that will build an associate degree — such as English, math, history and more — and then concentrate on the classes that will prepare you for the healthcare field: biology, chemistry and a range of electives.
With our small classes, you’ll get one-on-one attention from your instructors.
