Paramedic Technology B.S.

As a paramedic technology major at USF, you must complete an accredited EMT-paramedic program and at least 120 semester hours from USF (including 44 semester hours of blanket credit). After you complete the EMT-paramedic program and pass the exams, the credits from that program will be transferred back to USF and you will be awarded a bachelor's degree upon completion of USF's graduation requirements. An individual who is already a certified EMT-paramedic may receive the appropriate blanket credit in EMT-paramedic technology at USF after satisfying all of USF's requirements to receive the degree.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Evaluate the relationships and ethical implications of science upon technology and society.
• Describe structures and attributes of organisms, processes of life and biotic-abiotic interact.
• Explore, evaluate and communicate scientific investigations to understand the nature of life science.

The University of Sioux Falls is affiliated with the Avera McKennan EMT-Paramedic Program. We cannot guarantee admittance to any approved program, as each program has its own requirements and standards which must be met by the student. However, students who successfully complete USF's requirements will be in a competitive position to be accepted into an EMT-paramedic program.
