The Bachelor of Science in Integrated Studies: Health Care Management provides an academic foundation for students pursuing managerial careers in health care. The program includes courses that examine scientific, social, political, economic, ethical and organizational issues in health care and that also address implications for public policy. These courses underscore the complex, interdisciplinary nature of health care today and the mandate for critical thinking, contextual understanding and ethical behavior across all related fields and careers.
The program equips students with an academic foundation for work in a variety of health care professions, including (but not limited to) hospital administration, community health and public health.
This program can be completed entirely online.
All School of Continuing & Professional Studies undergraduate students must satisfy the same general-education requirements.
Students in BSIS programs must complete a certificate, tailoring their degree to their educational and professional goals. Students in BSIS programs must also complete a Community Engagement course. A designated course in the Health Care Management program will fulfill this requirement.

This program is offered either mostly or fully online. Students entering the U.S. on an F-1 or J-1 Visa must enroll in a program full time. F-1 students are only permitted to enroll in one online course per semester and J-1 students may only enroll in non-credit online courses that do not count toward their degree program. The School of Continuing & Professional Studies (CAPS) cannot guarantee face-to-face enrollment options each semester of full time enrollment, therefore cannot issue an I-20 or DS 2019 to F-1 and J-1 students for this program. If you are an F-1 or J-1 student and wish to enroll in a CAPS program while here on a Visa, please contact our recruitment team to discuss your options for face-to-face program enrollment. F-1 and J-1 students should not enroll in online courses or programs without first consulting the university’s Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS).
