Health care is one of today's most dynamic and growing industries. It responds to the ever-changing needs and demands of society and copes with the changes in medicine, medical technology, and population. It is a field that offers exciting new opportunities and challenges for those who choose it as a career.

The Health Administrative Services Program (HAS) provides an opportunity for health practitioners, students in the health disciplines, and others to prepare themselves for managerial, technical, and health promotion roles in both traditional and nontraditional health care settings. In addition, many students use the program to prepare themselves for graduate studies in Health Administration and other related disciplines. The Program is uniquely structured to help practicing health professionals build upon their two-year professional degree or credential, while at the same time accommodating the more traditional four-year student.
