First, to enroll in fall classes, you must decide which program is the best choice for you. You can ask yourself some questions to make this decision: do I want to work in healthcare or business, do I want to care for patients directly, and what skills would I like to learn?
If you want to work in a clinical setting directly with patients, our direct admission Nursing program may be right for you. As a registered nurse, you get to help people and make a difference in their lives every day. While enrolled in their nursing classes here at East Ohio, students learn critical areas, including nursing values, nursing processes, health promotion and maintenance, nursing roles, and therapeutic communication skills.

Students will prepare for professional healthcare certifications, including Certified Billing and Coding Specialist* and Certified Medical Administrative Assistant**.
If your goal is to work in a dentist’s office, our Dental Assisting program could be a great option for you.
