Our pre-emergency medicine curriculum is a two-year course of study. When you complete 60 credits on our campus, you will need to apply to the emergency medicine program in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (SHRS) at the University of Pittsburgh. If you're accepted into the bachelor of science program, you will need to take four credits of EMT with lab, which is not offered on the Bradford campus, before you continue with the degree program on the Pittsburgh campus.
