The two A.A.S. degree programs offered by this department prepare students for very different types of careers. A unique aspect of this program of study is the 450-hour, professionally supervised clinical practice in area hospitals, extended care facilities, and community agencies. This experience enables students to implement the skills and principles taught in the classroom. The Dietetic Technician program is designed primarily for students who plan to seek employment directly upon graduation. Graduates also may transfer to baccalaureate programs.
WCC students benefit from a transfer agreement with a local four-year college.
