Health Sciences

There are many rewarding career paths, but few match the impact a healthcare professional makes every day. Each shift you work can help save lives, restore lost capabilities or extend quality of life. Every patient you treat also touches the lives of their loved ones. Most healthcare professionals will say this is both a career path and true calling.

BC graduates help thousands of patients and families, while enjoying strong salaries, benefits, stability and professional respect as dental assistants, hygienists, nurses, EMTs, paramedics, physical, respiratory and radiation therapists, sonographers and in other critical roles, across a wide variety of care settings.

The Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree is designed to provide students with the academic and professional skills necessary to succeed in a bachelor’s degree program as well as in their careers.  Broward College’s A.A. degree prepares students to think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, define and analyze real-world problems, and apply information and technology to develop innovative solutions in a dynamic global economy and community. Students who complete the A.A. degree at Broward College are guaranteed to transfer as a junior to a Florida public university or to continue in a bachelor’s degree at Broward College.
