Department of Health Professions

Welcome to the Department of Health Professions . The programs offered by the Department of Health Professions aim to prepare students for various health careers that can help address health disparities in the community. Students may elect careers in medical technology, nursing, or physician assistant.

The curriculum for each of these  majors is designed to blend liberal arts and professional education.  In addition, the design of the professional curriculum is based on  prerequisite education in the basic sciences and a conceptual core of  knowledge in the health sciences.

Admission to Health Professions Programs

Admission to each program takes place at the freshman, upper sophomore or lower junior level. Acceptance is based on matriculation at York College, completion of a minimum number of credits, specific prerequisite coursework and attainment of a minimum grade point average, and approval of the discipline Admissions Committee (see each discipline for details).
