All first-time students must take a one-credit Student Development (SDV) course prior to enrolling in their 16th credit at NOVA.
1 Students may substitute EMS 209 for HLT 250.
Special Notes:
Since being a currently certified EMT–Basic is a mandatory prerequisite prior to enrollment in this program, those courses are not included.
• Courses must be taken in this sequence, and courses in each semester (except for Pharmacology) must be taken as corequisites.
• The EMS program offers all courses in both Fall and Spring Semesters, therefore program cohorts may start virtually year-round.
• A small contingent of EMS courses are also offered during the Summer term, but due to the compressed 12-week summer session, these courses do not constitute the "core" EMS curriculum, as a general rule
• Credit for prior learning is available, at no cost, for students who have earned their EMT–Basic certification.
