Online Healthcare Degree Programs¹

Online courses typically have the same recurring deadlines you would experience in a traditional classroom. For example, assignments and tests may be due on a specific day. However, other than these deadlines, you will have the flexibility to complete your work, even at 2 a.m.! Night owls rejoice. These deadlines enable you to stay on track with your coursework while also allowing you to schedule study time around your busy life. In addition to avoiding a daily commute to campus, taking classes online provides more flexibility to study and complete assignments around other responsibilities you may have throughout your day and night.

At UMA, tuition covers more than just your courses. It also includes books, software, and student services like one-on-one academic support, job search assistance, interview coaching, and more. We also have Student Finance advisors who can help you understand financial aid options if you qualify. To learn more about tuition at Ultimate Medical Academy, head to our Tuition page.

How long it takes to complete an associate degree in one of UMA’s online allied healthcare programs depends on the student. However, each associate degree program at UMA will take 18 months or more to complete.²

For starters, the healthcare field is growing. The healthcare industry is projected to have 1.8 million job openings each year, on average, from 2022-2032.² And while some positions you may find can include on-the-job training, others may require completion from a four-year college program, certification, training, or some level of education in the field. Having a degree or diploma in a healthcare field can show that you already have a certain level of background knowledge and education needed for landing a position.

Ultimate Medical Academy is institutionally accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES.org), a national accrediting agency that is recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education. Though UMA is not a university or college, we offer online diplomas or degrees in 13 healthcare fields some of which offer on-site externships/practicums and certification preparation — all intended to put you in a position to pursue a healthcare career after graduation.
