Student Learning Outcomes:
This program is designed to provide the requisite course background prior to entrance into a CoAEMSP/CAAHEP-approved program in EMT-Paramedic and to promote the successful completion of that program. Likewise, this program is constructed to enable an EMT-Paramedic who completes a significant (see below) amount of university work to obtain university credit for their clinical program and earn a B.S. in Paramedic Technology.
Vocational Applications:
This program of study is appropriate for a student who desires an EMT-Paramedic positioin and a liberal arts education.
Requirements:
In order to obtain a degree from the University of Sioux Falls, a student must complete a CoAEMSP/CAAHEP-approved EMT-Paramedic Program(and its prerequisite EMT Program), complete a total of 128 (including 44 semester hours of blanket credit) semester hours and pass the National Registry Examination.
