The Program
The CCBC Health Academy is for high school students in grades 11 and 12 at participating high schools who are interested in careers in nursing, practical nursing, radiologic technology, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, nurse anesthetist, and physician, and more. Students can select from a pathway in Health Academy nursing, rad tech, or general health sciences. Additionally, students who devote two years of study will have the opportunity to graduate from high school with up to 28 college credits completed in CCBC’s associate degree programs.
