Integrate your current health care background with innovation and leadership education with the BAS program in applied science with a focus on health innovation.
The BAS program also includes an emphasis in personal care designed for students with an AAS degree who desire to expand and diversify their education to broaden career opportunities in the revolutionized industry of personal care and aesthetics.
The BAS with a concentration in health entrepreneurship and innovation is designed for students with an AAS degree who want to lead transformative change in health through the creation of new products, processes and systems.
Students have the opportunity to examine current evidence-based practice and health care policy through a lens of innovation using an integrated systems perspective, and they hone the skills necessary to be a leader of innovation in a health care context.
Students with health-related backgrounds who would like to learn more about innovation and leadership within health care organizations may be interested in the health entrepreneurship and innovation concentration.
