Chair Hicks asked Provost Workman to discuss this item. He, in turn, asked Dean Chally to speak about this item. |
|
| Dean Chally stated that Health Administration was currently a track within the College of Health and this request was to offer this program as a separate degree. She stated that the students completing this track had a very different educational experience than students in the community health program. This track required a different set of graduation requirements and a different body of skills. |
|
| Dean Chally stated that offering this degree would allow students and employers to distinguish themselves in terms of quality. UNF’s program was one of 34 programs in the country that earned full certification at the undergraduate level. She stressed that this was an established program offered to more than 100 students. |
|
| Dean Chally discussed additional resources, stating that there would be no additional resources required for this program – all required faculty were in place. This request was for students who completed this track to receive a bachelor’s degree. |
|
| Trustee Crawford asked if there was a master’s program in place. Dean Chally stated that UNF did have this program. Trustee Crawford stated that this designation made good sense. |
|
| Chair Hicks asked for a motion to approve the Bachelor of Health Administration. This motion was offered, seconded and approved. |
