What is Health Science Technology?

Health Science Technology (HST) is designed to prepare students for entry-level career opportunities in the field of health care and health-related services. You can earn your Health Science Technology AAS and start your career at a Medical Receptionist, Medical Coder, or work as a Phlebotomist.

Many of the general education and core courses are required courses for completion of varied professional health programs, providing a seamless transition into a selective admission program.
