Allied Health (Major: Associate-Level)

2 Years On Campus Associate-degree Program

Brigham Young University Idaho

Program Overview

The Allied Health Associates of Science degree is designed to prepare students for entry into certificated programs of study in allied health professions. The associate degree allows students to complete most, if not all needed prerequisites for programs in nursing, dental hygiene, radiographic science, sonography, medical assisting, or physical therapy assisting. It should be emphasized that the Allied Health Associate degree does not certify or license a student in any of these fields, but does allow them to complete the required and often extensive list of prerequisite courses needed to apply to such programs. It further allows prerequisite credits to be counted as program applicable under the federal guidelines for financial aid disbursements.After completing prerequisites students may apply to programs in nursing and PTA at BYU-Idaho. Alternatively, they are eligible to apply for programs outside of the University in these same fields or others. Having an associates degree greatly simplifies the transfer process.
