Degree Information
Whether you want to work in an emergency room, with a team of professionals at a fire agency, or as a paramedic, COCC’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program can get you there. With some of the area’s top paramedics serving as your instructors, your classes are taught by the best in the field, by people who’ve been there, by people who’ve served on the front lines of medical emergencies.
Associate of applied science in emergency medical services degree requirements are listed below. For those students interested in expanding their employment opportunities and career path, a dual degree in Structural Fire Science (SFS) and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is also available. To accommodate this need, COCC allows students to combine some general education courses to meet both degree requirements. Upon completion of these courses, students then pursue technical EMS and SFS classes.
