PROGRAM ATTRIBUTES

Students receiving the Associate of Science in Health Care Management (Health Studies Concentration) can transfer all required course work completed at BPCC within that concentration to partially fulfill degree requirements for specified options of the University of Louisiana at Monroe's Bachelor of Science in Health Studies. (up to 57 credit hours from this concentration).

All courses are offered in 4-week and 8-week formats and average class size is 35 students.

EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
The United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that "employment of medical and health services managers is expected to grow 16 percent from 2008 to 2018, faster than the average for all occupations. The healthcare industry will continue to expand and diversify, requiring managers to help ensure smooth business operations." The health science field is the second largest demand sector as reported by Louisiana Workforce Commission. Moreover, the Commission reports that 75% of these jobs do NOT require a four year degree or higher but do require employees with some training beyond high school.
