    BSc Programs in EMT

    A Bachelor of Science is the first step in many students’ collegiate education. It prepares them for careers in the sciences and often is all that’s needed for them to step into their future jobs. A bachelor’s degree also allows students to specialize in technical fields.

    What is a BSc in EMT? This type of degree trains students to be emergency medical technicians through classes emphasizing anatomy and biology and hands-on courses that allow students to practice the techniques used on the job. Students learn practical skills such as how to assess patients, work with their equipment in the field and work quickly and calmly under pressure. Additionally, they learn how to work inside ambulances and with certain hospital services.

    A bachelor’s degree is sometimes required for entry-level work as an EMT, and it also can lead to a higher salary, as it is sometimes required for state certification. Graduates are also equipped to help in emergency situations that arise around them.

    Costs for a bachelor’s degree vary from university to university. Usually, it takes students four years to complete their undergraduate studies, but with online courses, both the financial obligation and the amount of time spent in the classroom may decrease. Before committing to a program, research the school so that you understand all of the expenses associated with your degree.

    Students involved in the program can expect to find jobs as paramedics or as either basic or advanced EMTs. They may also go on to study pre-hospital medicine or emergency services management. Some students may choose to work as EMTs for entertainment or industrial venues or with other emergency services such as the fire department.

    Many classes can be taken online, allowing students more flexibility with their education. To find the school that’s the best fit for you, search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
