Academy of Health Sciences Forges New Maryland Partnership

The Academy of Health Sciences @ Prince George’s Community College focuses on preparing students to enter a college program in the health sciences field, providing students with the required curriculum for a public high school diploma, and the opportunity to earn an associate degree in General Studies. In July 2011, the first class of students, 100 incoming ninth-graders, arrived for a three-week summer bridge program. Today, students are thriving and completing a rigorous curriculum to address the county’s need to build a qualified healthcare workforce. A class will be added each year until the academy reaches full enrollment, roughly 400 students, through twelfth grade.
