Program description
The BS program in health care coordination prepares students to effectively coordinate resources to optimize individual health outcomes.
Through coursework, students build a thorough understanding of health care systems, community and public health, community resources, health education and health advocacy.
The program emphasizes patient advocacy and education, the resources available from community and public health services, and the role of health policy and financing in modern health care.
Graduates of the program are prepared to work with an interdisciplinary team to use resources, provide health education and advocate for the patient when it is needed the most.
Concurrent program options
Students pursuing concurrent degrees (also known as a “double major”) earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. Working with their academic advisors, students can create their own concurrent degree combination. Some combinations are not possible due to high levels of overlap in curriculum.
Accelerated program options
This program allows students to obtain both a bachelor's and master's degree in as little as five years. It is offered as an accelerated bachelor's plus master's degree with:
- Aging, MS
- Healthcare Innovation, MHI
Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program.
