Our Undergraduate Bshsa Students

October 1, 2013 Volume 3, No. 7

ABOUT OUR UNDERGRADUATE BSHSA PROGRAM Our undergraduate BSHSA program is fully underway, and one of our goals is to create a health administration “learning community”. 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, there is some graduate faculty overlap, and our department assistant, Tina Farrell, has been supporting both programs—but BSHSA has an administrative assistant as of today. You’ll meet her in the next edition. In this HERALD I wanted to tell you about our undergraduate program.

OUR UNDERGRADUATE BSHSA STUDENTS This fall, 2013, marks the third 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 last fall (2012), the high demand by students resulted in us starting the BSHSA degree a year earlier instead. MHSA Prof. Karen Kent served as interim director to get the program launched, and Dr. Rick Browne was appointed director as of 7/1/12. Below is the list of our undergraduate students—and yes, we will graduate our first BSHSA class in May 2014. Keep in mind that this is a flexible list since students can transfer in or out.
