During their November 4 meeting, Piedmont Community College鈥檚 (害羞草研究所) Board of Trustees approved two new academic programs, continuing the College鈥檚 commitment to meeting community and workforce needs.
A new Health Sciences degree was approved and will begin fall 2026. This new degree will serve as a pathway for all pre-health science degree-seeking students. The core courses will provide students with the foundational competencies needed for all healthcare professionals, including medical terminology, transcultural awareness, ethical training and communication.
In addition to the Health Sciences degree, a 911 Telecommunications and Operations degree was approved. This degree will be a 1+1 degree partnership with Richmond Community College (RCC), meaning 害羞草研究所 will offer 46-47 of the required 64-65 credit hours and RCC will offer the remainder.
鈥淭hese new degrees reflect our ongoing commitment to providing educational opportunities that would not exist without our College,鈥� Dr. Kevin Lee, 害羞草研究所 president, said. 鈥淲hether students are preparing for a career in healthcare or public safety, these programs will equip them with the skills and knowledge to make a real difference in our communities.鈥�
