More about the 四色AV Health Studies Program:
The 四色AV Health Studies Program is a four-year curriculum that prepares students for entry-level management jobs in non-clinical areas of healthcare or entry into graduate programs.

It begins with two years of guided liberal arts courses including humanities, mathematics and sciences on the main campus. Health studies students then study a variety of health study courses during the final two years.

The Health Studies Program also offers the Healthcare Marketing/Management option online in an accelerated format. The on-campus and online curricula are very similar; however, all health studies courses in the online program are offered in an eight-week accelerated system. The online accelerated method provides limited disruption to a student鈥檚 life while maintaining efficient, high quality education.

Department Head Dr. Jessica Dolecheck guarantees that, 鈥淭he Health Studies program also offers personal attention, multidisciplinary learning, a practicum, close ties to a major teaching hospital, and cutting-edge education relevant to healthcare. Students will find a supportive and friendly faculty in the Health Studies Department who are eager to help them succeed in their studies and healthcare career.鈥�
