All first-time students must take a one-credit Student Development (SDV) course prior to enrolling in their 16th credit at NOVA.
1 HLT 250 + EMS 213 are equivalent to EMS 209. Students cannot get credit for both this sequence as well as EMS 209.
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 co-requisites.
- The EMS program offers all courses in both Fall and Spring semesters, therefore program cohorts may start virtually year-round.
- A few EMS courses are offered during the Summer term as well, but due to the compressed 12- week summer session, these courses do not constitute the “core” EMS curriculum, as a general rule.
- Advanced standing credit is available, at no cost, for students who have earned their EMT-Basic certification.
