Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo has announced an accelerated timeline for its Paramedic Science Program that will allow students to graduate in four semesters rather than the five semesters needed for the traditional program. Applications are now being accepted with classes to begin this fall.
“We are excited to announce updates in our Paramedic Science Program that will allow us to better serve our students, to better support their current and future employers, and, ultimately, to strengthen our community by increasing the number of well-trained paramedics available to meet local medical and emergency needs,” said Dr. Tammy Greene, dean of the School of Health Sciences for Ivy Tech’s Kokomo Service Area.
Greene said that, starting with the Fall 2025 cohort, students will be able to complete the program in just 16 months (August 2025 to December 2026), a significant reduction from the previous 21-month timeline needed to earn the Associate of Applied Science degree in Paramedic Science.
According to Greene, this means:
• Students will graduate five months sooner, allowing them to enter the workforce and start earning a paycheck earlier.
• Employers will have trained paramedics on their ambulances five months sooner, helping to meet critical staffing needs.
• The program will be more accessible, as students will only need to be on campus one day per week, making it easier to balance work and other commitments.
Applications for the first cohort will be accepted through May 15. For more information on Ivy Tech’s Paramedic Science Program, click here or contact Greene at tgreene30@ivytech.edu.
“Indiana has a large and ongoing shortage of EMTs and paramedics,” Greene said. “We hope this program goes far in attracting more students to Paramedic Science and ensuring our community has the medical first responders that it needs.”
