Introduction

The Bachelor of Arts in Healthcare Leadership (HCL) utilizes an interdisciplinary approach that prepares students for careers in leadership positions across a spectrum of healthcare settings. This degree provides students in South Puget Sound with the critical thinking processes and experiential learning necessary for becoming leaders in organizations ranging from healthcare systems to government agencies.

Philosophy of Undergraduate Education

H1N1 Influenza "Swine Flu" Students with flu-like symptoms should stay home and contact their instructor(s). See UW Tacoma Flu Information for details.

What Makes the Program Unique

  • Offers courses designed to apply content to healthcare leadership
  • Works for both part-time and full-time students
  • Provides opportunities to explore interests and be creative

In addition to the major, opportunities exist to obtain a minor or certificate in other disciplines.

In a five-credit fieldwork experience, students will participate in a real-world learning experience in a healthcare organization in the community. These learning experiences will serve as a bridge to future employment opportunities for the students.
