Degree Completion is offered in two formats: traditional on-campus or asynchronous online.
Currently certified paramedics or U.S. SOCOM Advanced Tactical Paramedics may enter the Emergency Medicine program as Emergency Medicine Degree Completion students (senior transfers), and complete their bachelor’s degree in two terms with 100% online, asynchronous courses. If the applicant has 51 prerequisite and general education credits, they are eligible for this entry point. Interested students should contact the enrollment specialist for a prerequisite credit evaluation.
These students must complete 30 core credits within the University of Pittsburgh School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences to earn an undergraduate degree.
Michael Reed graduated from the Emergency Medicine program in 2011, and over 10 years later, he is still witnessing the impact of the degree on his career.
