You’ve earned your certification—now earn your degree and unlock new career opportunities in Emergency Medical Science leadership, education, and management by building on your paramedic experience with flexible coursework designed specifically for working professionals like you.
The Emergency Medical Science Bridging Option is designed to allow a currently certified, non-degreed Paramedic to earn an Associate of Applied Science in Emergency Medical Science by completing course requirements identified outside of the paramedic subject area. This program of study provides the student an opportunity to enhance learning already achieved through continuing education for Paramedic. Course work includes medical terminology, Biology, Mathematics, English, Humanities, and Social Sciences.
Only Certified Paramedics are permitted in the Bridging Option. Contact the EMS Program Coordinator for prerequisites for admission requirements.

The Mitchell Community College Paramedic program has been issued a Letter of Review by the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP). This letter is NOT a CAAHEP accreditation status, it is a status signifying that a program seeking initial accreditation has demonstrated sufficient compliance with the accreditation standards through the Letter of Review Self Study Report (LSSR) and other documentation. Letter of Review is recognized by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) for eligibility to take the National Registry’s Paramedic credentialing examination(s). However, it is NOT a guarantee of eventual accreditation.
