Description
The Health Services Administration minor is intended for students that have a strong interest in concepts related to the management, ethics and practice of the administration of health services. Students complete a series of specific courses designed to enhance their knowledge in the area of health services, as well as courses geared for professional practice.
The minor will augment students' study in a variety of majors including, but not limited to, business, communications, nursing, psychology, sociology, public health and health and human services.
