Through a new partnership with Western Carolina University (WCU), Piedmont Community College (PCC) is expanding opportunities for Emergency Medical Science graduates to seamlessly transfer credits and pursue a Bachelor of Science in Emergency Medical Care.

“It’s exciting to expand the pathways available to our EMS students and create even more opportunities for them to further their education,” Dr. Kevin Lee, PCC president, said. “We’re grateful to Western Carolina University for partnering with us to make this transfer agreement possible for our community.”
