Both options prepare you as a health systems management professional in a dynamic, fast-paced career that’s on the rise.

Students seeking undergraduate credit must be a graduate of a recognized high school or have a high school equivalency diploma. In addition to receiving a certificate, all students who complete the certificate program will receive a digital badge, validating their accomplishment, competency and/or mastery of skills.
