Initial EMS, EMT, Paramedic

Ivy Tech Community College's Paramedic Science program is held at the Public Safety Academy. For more degree information, please visit Ivy Tech's Paramedic Science website at: http://www.ivytech.edu/schools/health/paramedic-science/index.html

Successful graduates of the Ivy Tech Paramedic Program earn an Associate of Science Degree in Paramedic Science. Degree programs in EMS are still fairly new and few paramedics possess a degree. Having earned a degree from an institution of higher learning will improve opportunities for career advancement.

Ivy Tech Community College and the Public Safety Academy are also exploring the conduct of a non-credit version of the Paramedic program at the Academy. Such a program would offer exit points for EMT Basic, EMT Basic/Advanced, and EMT Intermediate certificate preparation. This version of the program would incorporate both on site and distance learning instruction. No final approval yet.
