If you are in northern illinois Edward in Naperville Loyola in Maywood Silver Cross in Joliet Good Samaritan in Downers Grove. Further North St. Joseph in Elgin. A little farther south Ingalls in Harvey all are pretty decent

• Only the Trinity programme offers a degree, which should be a major consideration for you when choosing. Unless neither of these two schools is even remotely close to you, I would probably limit my choices to them.

I'm sorry I was getting a call as I typed my last reply. Like Dustdevil said Rock Island is the only program in the state that is a direct associate program. the majority of programs Illinois do affiliate themselves with community colleges so you can use your credits earned from EMT to paramedic toward an associates. I know College of Dupage, who is affiliated with Good Samaritan In Downers Grove offers an associates in EMS. not sure about the other hospitals and community college combos. Hope this helps. IF you have any further questions I obtained my certificate in northern Illinois and worked there for a few years and still have a few contacts up there that I could get more info from.
