Welcome to the School of Health Professions

The degree programs are generally two-year courses of study that allow the student to achieve either an Associate of Science or Associate of Applied Science degree. Graduates of the Physician Assistant program receive a certificate that allows registration for a national certification examination and a Master of Science degree from Towson University.

Each program prepares graduates who are eligible, to take certification examinations given by state and national certification agencies. Each program is currently accredited by a state or national accreditation agency.

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2010 -
THE FEE FOR THE SELECTIVE ADMISSION APPLICATION IS $20

There are also two Allied Health programs that are articulated with Harford Community College: Electroneurodiagnostic Technology (EEG) and Histotechnology. For these two programs, students complete general education and prerequisite science courses at CCBC Essex and transfer to Harford Community College for clinical courses. These students graduate from Harford Community College.

For additional health care training opportunities be sure to view our Continuing Education options.

NOTE: The RN and PN seat fee will become effective for students admitted after January 1, 2010. Applicants will be required to pay a non-refundable $200 fee to accept their offer of admission and reserve their space in the RN programs or the PN program. The fee will be applied to the first semester program charges. Students who accept the seat and then do not attend the program will not be eligible for a refund of the fee. The seat fee will become effective for all other SHP programs for students admitted by 2011.

All programs are selective admission.
