Paramedic applications are closed and will reopen December 1, 2025 and be accepted through March 31, 2026.
ISU offers two pathways:
- The Associate of Science in Paramedic Science
- The Paramedic Science Academic Certificate
Both the certificate and the degree require the same prerequisites and complete the same Paramedic Science curriculum. Students who complete the Paramedic Science four-semester curriculum and ISU’s general education requirements will receive the associate of science degree. Students who complete the Paramedic Science four-semester curriculum only will receive the academic certificate, but may continue to complete the associate degree at any time.

- Option to continue on for a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences with a concentration in Emergency Medical Services
