Healthcare Programs
Healthcare is where Mildred Elley College shines. Our Practical Nursing (LPN) certificate and Medical Assistant programs, including a full Associate of Occupational Studies degree and a Clinical Medical Assistant certificate, are among the most in-demand programs we offer. Albany students also have access to our non-credit Nurse Aide (CNA) Training and Phlebotomy Exam Pathway programs.
One thing that sets our Medical Assistant program apart: students have the opportunity to meet the requirements to sit for three national certification exams through the National Healthcareer Association (NHA): Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA), Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT), and Certified EKG Technician (CET). That’s something you won’t find at every school.
Massage Therapy
For students drawn to health and wellness, our Massage Therapy programs offer both an Associate of Occupational Studies degree and a certificate option, available at our Albany campus.
Business & Paralegal Programs
Our Business Management and Advanced Paralegal Studies associate degree programs are available fully online, giving working adults the flexibility to build professional skills.
