The EMS program at MTSU now consists of two courses, EMT [Basic] and Advanced EMT.

The Advanced EMT course will begin in fall, 2024 and run approximately 5 months while meeting two nights a week on either Monday and Wednesday evenings or Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6pm - 9pm on lecture nights and 6pm - 10pm on practical skills lab nights.

The class will meet in the University College training room at 503 East Bell Street in Murfreesboro.

The registration fee for this class will be ~$1,699.00 and includes the registration fee, books, malpractice insurance and scheduling software for clinical rotations. Uniform shirts, pants, belts, shoes, socks, and safety gear must be purchased by the student. MTSU EMS Programs have a strict uniform, hygiene, and appearance policy.  Please do not purchase uniforms until instructors give the specifications. A drug screen and a background check will be REQUIRED before beginning clinical rotations. You will be given instructions on where to have these done on the first night of class. These will be done at the expense of the student. Students may expect to spend an additional $300-$500 above the registration fee for uniforms, drug screen, background checks, testing fees and licensing fees.

Payment is due in full at the time of registration.

The  EMS program at MTSU is a non-credit program. This means that you will not receive any credit toward a college diploma upon successfully completing the course. You do not have to apply for admission to MTSU. Because it is non-credit, traditional student financial aid (Pell Grants, Stafford Loans, Hope Scholarships, etc.) cannot be used to pay for the class. The goal of the class is to prepare you for certification as an EMT. The EMS classes at MTSU are taught aacademy style.
