Undergraduate Catalog - University of Louisiana at Monroe

140 UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA MONROE 2012-2013 UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG
necessary requirements for admission to health
professions graduate programs.
• Health Studies Healthcare Management/
Marketing (HSMM) Option: This option is
for those students who desire a terminal
undergraduate degree for mid-level managerial
employment in healthcare. This option
incorporates the same core Health Studies
courses as the Pre-Professional Health Studies
Option and includes additional management and
marketing courses.
• BSHS Online Healthcare Management/Marketing
(DLHS) Option: Non-traditional students may
earn a BSHS degree 100% online following the
Healthcare Management/Marketing degree plan
option. Students must meet specific admission
requirements to be accepted into the BSHS online
degree program. These requirements include:
1) Meet general admission requirements for
admission to ULM.
2) Meet requirements for freshman level English
and Math.
• HSPP, HSMM and DLHS options have adequate
elective credits to allow students to design a
course of study in an area of their interest (e.g.
a minor in Psychology, Gerontology, Finance,
Business Administration, etc.). Hence, students
can focus their degree in a specialized field
of study, still keeping healthcare marketing/
management or pre-professional health studies
as the major concentration.
• On-campus and online students should consult
with their Health Studies (HS) academic advisors
to assure that courses are taken in a logical
sequence. The HS academic advisors will also
guide students toward appropriate electives that
will enhance their career options.
HEALTH STUDIES PROGRAM CURRICULUM
Students in the BSHS Program complete specific
courses in the Pre-Professional Health Studies or
Healthcare Management/Marketing option according to a
planned and structured program of study. Students fulfill
both core degree requirements and major/professional
curriculum requirements in a logical sequence. The
sequence is intended to facilitate success in the overall
degree requirements.
The core curriculum in the first two years is designed
to provide students with a foundation in the humanities,
mathematics, and sciences. During the second two years,
the Pre-Professional Health Studies and Healthcare
Management/Marketing options provide for a broad focus
on business basics, healthcare delivery system, cultural
diversity, ethics and leadership in healthcare.
