The Connected Degree 2+2 Curriculum
Delaware Tech's Associate of Science General degree program is a transfer degree designed to prepare students to either transfer internally to the College's existing nursing and allied health programs after competitive admission requirements are met or to transfer to a four-year institution upon completion. The curriculum provides students with a foundation in biology, chemistry, physics, and/or mathematics supplemented by electives in English, humanities, and social sciences. Neumann University's Bachelor of Science degree program in Health Science (HS) is designed to prepare students with the knowledge and skills established by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) to become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) or the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), to become a Certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist (CEP). In addition, the HS Major prepares those students interested in graduate programs in areas such as Athletic Training, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Physician's Assistant. Utilize, through competent practice, the cognitive knowledge which are required in strength and conditioning and/or clinical exercise physiology.
