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 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.
