The Medical Assistant degree program is on hold pending official approval to terminate the program.  While an associate degree is no longer an option, Medical Assistant courses will continue to be offered through Workforce Development Continuing Education as a short-term training program. This short-term format allows students to complete training more quickly and transition into the workforce sooner.

The Workforce Development option is designed to provide focused, hands-on instruction that prepares students with the essential administrative and clinical skills needed for entry-level employment in medical offices, clinics, and outpatient healthcare settings.

Students interested in pursuing Medical Assistant training should review the new program details, including course content, length, costs, and registration information, on the updated program page:
