BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT AND POLICY (BSHMP)

Make a difference with healthcare management

With a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management and Policy (BSHMP), you’ll find opportunities for hands-on learning and leadership development that can prepare you for a rewarding career in healthcare. You’ll be taught by nationally known faculty as well as practitioners who understand the issues firsthand. Learn healthcare law from practicing attorneys, long-term care from the administrator of a 300-bed facility, and strategic planning from a hospital CEO. You’ll graduate with the management skills necessary to reform healthcare from the inside out.

And, after earning the BSHMP and completing your required pre-requisite courses, you can apply to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Accelerated Second Degree track and become a professional nurse.
