Want to make a real difference in the wellbeing of others? We can help. At the College of Continuing and Professional Studies (CCAPS), we offer two distinct educational paths to help you achieve your service-oriented goals in health and wellness.

Whether you choose to pursue an education in healthcare management or in health and wellbeing sciences, each program provides the foundational insights and skills you need to make a positive impact for your organization, your career, and your future.

Healthcare Management

For current healthcare professionals or those who want to break into the industry, CCAPS offers three distinct educational options—BAS, certificates, or a minor—to gain the skills needed to pursue leadership roles in healthcare management.
