The
Health Care Management and Community Health Options are designed for
currently practicing or potential health care personnel. About half
of the students are practicing registered nurses, respiratory therapists,
and other health professionals. Students may apply to one of the clinically
related options: the Physician Assistant Option; the Orthotics and Prosthetics
Option; the Radiologic Technology Option. Since nearly all of the students
work during the day, most Health Science courses are offered in the
late afternoon, evening or weekend and many meet only once a week. To
keep the Health Science programs contemporary, many of the Health Science
courses are taught by practicing professionals.
