MUNE has developed a liberal arts program with a concentration in science for students looking to pursue a degree in a science or health-related field. With a curriculum based on the latest bachelor’s degree programs at Mercyhurst University in Erie, students completing this associates degree would have about 60 credits of coursework towards a bachelor’s degree. The first year is also designed for students interested in an associate degree at MUNE, offering coursework that will crossover to many of our health career programs, such as registered nursing, physical therapist assistant, respiratory therapy, occupational therapy assistant and medical lab technician.
