Educating students … preparing future allied health care professionals.


Advanced Cardiopulmonary

The Advanced Cardiopulmonary Care concentration (AHCP) under the Bachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences has been identified as one of the academic programs being impacted by the current budgetary constraints placed on Nicholls State University.

Students interested in a career as a Respiratory Therapist should not be impacted by this decision.  Due to accrediation mandates, the Department of Allied Health Sciences will be implementing curriculum changes to the Associate of Science degree in Cardiopulmonary Care Science.  Graduates of this 2010-2011 curriculum will be eligible to sit for the registry examination for respiratory therapy.  Any students can contact the department at 985-493-2624 to schedule a meeting with a faculty advisor.  The Allied Health faculty members continue to serve as an excellent resource for professional career counseling and academic advising.
