is unique because of our labs off-campus and involve actual patients," Dr. Calline Ellis, division of health occupations chair, said. Programs available include a two-year associate nursing degree, a one-year LPN, surgical technology, paramedic, and medical laboratory technology. The associate degree program is the largest according to Ellis. "We're admitting 180-200 nursing students per year. It is a difficult program but our graduates can expect to pass the licensure exam," Ellis said. "Our goals are to maintain the high quality of each program, and to meet the community's needs for health care providers. We will add new programs when there is an identified need and the resources are available,"Ellis said.
