Health Administrative Services


  • Program Prerequisite: Health Information Management Emphasis requires previous completion of AAS in Health Information Technology or equivalent. Health Services Administration, Long-Term Care Administration and Health Promotion emphases have a set of course prerequisites which are expected to be completed prior to declaration of cohort for those majors. See the list of prerequisites in the course requirements discussed for each emphasis below. An application for these programs is required upon completion of general education and pre-requisites. A cohort designation for the major will be made upon receipt and processing of the program application. Students will not be allowed to register for classes in the major without designation of this cohort.

    All students admitted to the WSU Health Administrative Services AAS and BS program may be required to comply with a departmental background check and drug screen test prior to internship or other professional practice experience. If the background check reveals a history of convicted criminal actions, or the drug test results are positive for controlled substances, then the students may be dismissed form the program and will not be entitled to any refunds of tuition or other fees. Most Health Care employers have this same requirement as a condition of employment.
