Bachelor of Science in Emergency Medical Services Administration
Program Overview
The new Bachelor of Science in Emergency Medical Services Administration (EMSA) at Anna Maria College is specifically designed for the working paramedic professional. It was established to provide women and men currently certified or licensed as paramedics or EMTs with a convenient pathway to degree completion.
Since the 1970's, emergency medical technicians and paramedics have been filling increasing important roles in the delivery of care to the ill and injured outside of brick and mortal medical facilities. As the country ages, and the strain on the health care industry increases, fire/rescue organizations, as well as public and private ambulance service providers, will not only need excellence at the point of service delivery, they will also require exceptional expertise in management leadership roles.
One of the first of its kind in the United States, the online Bachelor of Science in Emergency Medical Services Administration from Anna Maria College prepares graduates for managerial and leadership roles in the emerging field of "pre-hospital healthcare."
