      "markdown": "The Pre-Allied Health degree provides students with a strong biology and chemistry foundation in preparation for Allied Health career fields such as nursing, medical laboratory technology, physical therapy and other public health positions.  The Pre-Allied Health degree includes pre-requisites for Registered Nursing programs at two-year colleges and is transferable to Nursing and Health Science majors at various four-year institutions.  Some variation in degree requirements may exist for a particular Allied Health program; therefore, it is essential that students refer to the catalog of their intended transfer institution and contact a counselor to ensure that all required coursework is completed.\n\nLearning Outcome(s):\n\n1.  Students completing the Pre-Allied Health A.S. Degree will be able to work safely in a laboratory or clinical setting with microorganisms.\n2.  Students completing the Pre-Allied Health A.S. Degree will be able to communicate core concepts central to biology using scientific terminology."
