Healthcare Education : Healthcare Courses

Successful completion of Health Core Curriculum courses is required for many of the health care certificate and degree programs offered within the Maricopa Community Colleges. The Health Core Curriculum (HCC) courses provide an introduction to an universal foundation of concepts common to many health care programs and professions. These core concepts include: general knowledge of the health care profession, wellness and safety, workforce behavior, legal and ethical issues in health care, medical terminology, and more. HCC courses may be either prerequisites, co-requisites, or both depending on your particular program of study.

Often many students entering the Maricopa Community Colleges health care programs have already completed health related coursework at other institutions and may be eligible for equivalency credit for HCC courses. Please note that it is important to consult with an academic advisor to determine what courses may be needed for your particular program of study.
