Program-required courses are taught through a combination of in-person and remote delivery. Remote learning may require meeting at a specific time or may not have a specific class time; all weekly interactions and assignments for remote courses are completed through a learning site.
Our Pre-Professional Concentration prepares you to apply to graduate programs in health care fields such as chiropractic medicine, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. And with the current increases in lifestyle-related disease and the growing elderly population, you will be poised to take advantage of new opportunities in the health field.

That’s why we’re committed to being one of the most affordable colleges in Vermont and why more than 80% of our students receive aid. We're here to help you fit this program into your unique financial picture. Contact this program's Admissions Counselor any time to discuss what types of financial aid are right for you.
