CT State’s School of Nursing, Allied Health and Human Services offers students a range of selective admissions programs in nursing and allied health fields as well as a range of open access programs available to support students’ entry into career fields in allied health, human services, addiction studies or social work. Programs include options to prepare to directly transition into career or curriculum aligned to support transfer to a four-year institution.
For those students interested in a career in nursing, the Connecticut Community College Nursing Program (CT-CCNP) is an innovative associate degree program of study offered at six CT State campuses. The program is externally accredited by the Accreditation Commission for the Education in Nursing (ACEN) and serves a diverse population of students, offers excellent clinical sites, and has a thirty plus year record of proven success. The college also offers programs to prepare students in licensed practical nursing to registered nursing, practical nursing as well as workforce programming in certified nurse assistant and patient care technician.
Our allied health options are aligned to the healthcare workforce in Connecticut. Allied health career professionals help evaluate, treat, and prevent illnesses by collaborating in a variety of health fields, and individuals with many different skill levels can be successful in these areas. While some professions involve working directly with patients, others work behind the scenes, playing important roles in the health care field, some in acute care settings others in more chronic care settings. Students who enjoy helping others, hands-on or detailed work, problem solving, or have an interest in a medical-related field, can find an affordable and flexible career solution by earning an associate degree or certificate in one of many allied health fields.
Led by our expert faculty, students interested in allied health have access to programs in dental assistant, dental hygiene, occupational therapy assistant, respiratory care, radiation therapy, radiological technology, surgical technology, health informatics, paramedic, medical coding, medical assistant, and medical laboratory technician to name a few.
Students interested in human services fields can find programs in disability specialist, social work, addiction studies counseling, and human services with concentrations in gerontology, child, family and community services, behavioral and mental health, and human services management.
Whether you are interested in short-term training, a degree or certificate, the school offers a pathway to a rewarding career or transferable curriculum in health care or the human services field to meet students’ aspirations.
