The Associate of Science (AS) degree program in University Parallel: Pre-Allied Health will provide a pathway for students who are currently applying to one or more of the health professions A.A.S. degree programs.

Students will select the A.S. degree in Pre-Allied Health program of study as their initial major and begin taking those general education courses that meet the prerequisite course requirements to be considered for admission to the health professions A.A.S. degree program of their choice. If the student is admitted to the health professions A.A.S. degree program of their choice, their major is changed to that program and the student continues to take courses in the discipline-specific curriculum. If the student is not admitted to the health professions A.A.S. degree program of their choice, they are advised of the following options:

1. Continue taking courses in the Pre-Allied Health curriculum plan and graduate with an A.S. degree and transfer to a university.
2. Change their major to another area of study.

Students applying to any A.A.S. Health Professions programs should consult the admission and course requirements for their program of choice and select qualifying courses.
