Major Programs of Undergraduate Study - Health Services Administration
Major programs of undergraduate study are listed on the following pages. Each Center, the External Degree and the Online Programs offer specific majors and minors. Check with your academic advisor to determine the availability of a particular major or minor. Some majors at particular locations will include online or distance coursework.
Those graduating from programs offered through the Extended University will receive a Bachelor of Science (Bachelor of Arts for elementary education learners). Learners cannot seek two of the same degrees at UIU. That means that if an individual earns a Bachelor of Arts, then a second Bachelor of Arts is not allowed. However, if you are the holder of a Bachelor of Arts from UIU, you can seek the Bachelor of Science from UIU. Additional majors may be earned and will be reflected on the UIU transcript.
A double major requires completion of two Senior Projects, one for each major.
