North offers an A.A.S. degree in Allied Health Sciences for graduates of certificate programs in Medical Assisting, Practical Nursing, and Pharmacy Technician.

The A.A.S degree provides a more liberalized education than the certificate issued by a vocational program. The degree includes a minimum of 90 quarter credits from three categories:

1. 45-60 credits for a certificate of achievement from an NSCC Health-Medical Program (At least 45 credits and a maximum of 60 credits may be applied toward the AAS Degree)
2. 25 or more credits outside of the technical discipline, including communication, computation or quantitative reasoning, human relations, US cultures, Global Studies or the other remaining areas.
3. 20 Elective credits

The general education courses will transfer to many four-year colleges. Although the vocational courses do not transfer for a bachelor's degree, many employers view the A.A.S. degree as a sign of increased competence and readiness for career or salary advancement.
