The Emergency Medical Science Bridging program was developed to allow currently certified, non-degree Paramedics to earn a two-year Associate of Applied Science Degree in Emergency Medical Science. A total of 45 transfer hours will be awarded to certified EMT-Paramedics. Admission requirements must be met prior to matriculation. Students who did not obtain their Paramedic certification through LCC’s Continuing Education/Workforce Development Division must complete at least 25% of their coursework through Lenoir Community College.
