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.

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.
