RAASEMS - Paramedic

All ENMU-Roswell Associate Degrees require 60 or more credit hours. There may be cases when program requirements can also satisfy General Education requirements and students may have less than 60 overall credit hours (or the required credit hours for the program). In these cases, students will need to complete elective courses to satisfy the minimum credit hours requirement. We recommend visiting with an Academic Advisor or Program Director to determine the best elective options.
Additionally, this degree requires a student to complete 15 credits of general education courses. Please see the degree map for recommendations for which courses to take. However, a student graduating with this degree must take courses from the General Education categories listed.
*Note: The Program Director, Director of Clinical Education, and the Medical Director may increase the required number of clinical and internship hours
