The Paramedic program is a City College MSU-Billings degree. However, you can work on completing the prerequisite courses through Great Falls College and then apply to the competitive entry sprint paramedic program through City College. If accepted in the program, this online pathway offers the classroom lecture coursework through a combination of video presentations, online chats and online meetings with your instructors. This pathway will still require some on-campus labs in Billings. Clinical and field internship rotations can then be completed at an approved location. Successful completion of this pathway will allow you to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians Paramedic Exam as well as earn an associates of applied science degree in paramedicine.
