Why choose paramedic education at Weber State University?

  • National Registry Certification Exam results for both the campus and distance program are exceptional, significantly higher than the national average for both first-time pass rate and overall score attained. 95% of WSU students have passed the written exam on the first attempt.  Since the State of Utah started using the National Registry test for initial certification, 100% of WSU students passed the written exam on first attempt.

    •  

  • WSU's Department of Emergency Care & Rescue has been nationally accredited by  CAAHEP (CoAEMSP) for more than 25 years, making it the first in Utah, and one of the first in the nation. 

    •  

  • More than 95 percent of WSU's graduates are employed upon graduation and are eagerly sought out by EMS agencies and health care facilities across the nation.

    •  

  • WSU's paramedic program does not require prior EMS agency experience or sponsorship. EMT-Intermediate is no longer required. Students may progress from EMT-B directly into Paramedic.
