The Bachelor of Applied Science in Healthcare Administration is designed for students who have completed an Associate of Applied Science degree from an institution of higher education whose institutional accreditation is through an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or technical training provider. The degree is intended for students who have expertise within a specific technical area, experience working within that field, and who seek to further their education and move into management or administrative roles by completing the requirements for a baccalaureate degree. Note: although previous work experience within a specific technical field is not required for entry into the program, it is highly encouraged.
Students with an Associate of Science (AS) or Associate of Art (AA) degree may also be considered if they can demonstrate specialized technical expertise through work experience/credentials in the healthcare field. These students should also be able to demonstrate how educational advancement will contribute to the profession and that career opportunities exist in their field. An exception form must be submitted with the application.
A minimum of 60 credits from a completed Associate degree will be applied to the Bachelor of Applied Science degree, however additional lower-division coursework may be required as a part of the Bachelor of Applied Science requirements. A minimum of 45 upper-division credits are required for completion of the Bachelor degree.
