3. Q. I'm working full time during the day, are any of the Allied Health programs offered in the evening?
A. Only two programs are offered entirely in the evening, Medical Coding and Medical Transcriptionist. For the Associates degree programs many of the courses, such as English courses, math courses, human anatomy and physiology, chemistry, and computer courses may be taken in the evening prior to beginning the technology-specific courses. However all Associate degree programs require clinical experiences and the technology-specific courses are offered during the day.
