RCC College Catalog
For more information about the Health-STEM program, please check out our College Catalog.
Designed for Flexibility
RCC can help give you the classes that will fit into dozens of programs at four-year schools. Start with our Health-STEM program and you’ll be well-prepared to take the next step onto the career of your dreams, like:
- Dentistry
- Occupational Therapy
- Pharmacy
- Physical therapy
Program Details
The Health-STEM program lasts four semesters, or two years. Within the curriculum, you’ll take all of those core classes that will build an associate degree — like English, math, history and more — and then we’ll concentrate on the classes that will prepare you for the healthcare field. Those are biology, chemistry and a range of electives.
Thanks to our small classrooms, you’ll get one-on-one attention from your teachers. Unlike larger schools, you’re never a number at RCC.
