ABOUT OUR UNDERGRADUATE BSHSA PROGRAM Our undergraduate BSHSA program is an important part of creating a health administration “learning community” at Xavier. This means that all of our students, both graduate and undergraduate, feel that they belong to one Xavier HSA home. To accomplish this, the students are working together on various initiatives, graduate faculty teach BSHSA courses, and the BSHSA administrative assistant, Judy Janzen, coordinates a myriad of things to assure that. In this HERALD I wanted to update you about our undergraduate program.

OUR UNDERGRADUATE BSHSA STUDENTS This fall, 2019, marks the eighth year for Xavier’s Undergraduate Degree in Health Services Administration. What began as a research project by MHSA students in 2009 developed into a feasible degree that was approved by the Xavier University Board of Trustees in 2011. Although the program was planned to start in the fall of 2012, the high demand by students resulted in us starting the BSHSA degree a year earlier in 2011 instead. Past MHSA faculty member Dr. Karen Kent served as interim director to get the program launched and Dr. Rick Browne has been the director since July 1, 2012. Below is the list of our current undergraduate students. We’ve now graduated six BSHSA classes.
