Associate in Science degree - Allied Health
Catalog 2012-2013
The associate in science degree with a major in allied health is a transfer degree for students who wish to transfer to a four year institution with a major in an allied health field. These fields include, but are not limited to, nursing, radiological sciences, physical therapy, occupational health, and dental hygiene. The degree offers students a broad general education, and provides basic knowledge in microbiology, human anatomy and physiology, and nutrition (as stated in the courses learning objectives). These are common prerequisites for above mention four-year majors, while also preparing students for more advanced allied health courses. Degree requirements for four-year programs differ from institution to institution, so students wishing to transfer to a particular four-year program should consult a counselor regarding specific course requirements for that particular program.
The DVC allied health major is intended for transfer. Students wishing to transfer must consult with a counselor regarding other courses in math, chemistry and physics that may be required by the four-year institution to which they intend to transfer. Students who intend to transfer are advised to select General Education Option 2 (IGETC) or Option 3 (CSU GE). Option 1 (DVC General Education) is not generally advised.
To earn an associate in science degree with a major in allied health, students must complete each course used to meet a major requirement with a “C” grade or higher and complete all graduation requirements as listed in the catalog. Major requirements may be taken only on a “for grade” basis. Certain courses may satisfy both a major and other DVC graduation requirements; however, the units are only counted once.
