Department of Health Studies

Message from the Department Head

The Health Studies program at the University of Louisiana at Monroe is an exciting four-year curriculum for preparing students for entry-level management jobs in non-clinical areas of healthcare or entry into graduate programs. This program begins with two years of guided liberal arts courses including humanities, mathematics and sciences on the main campus of the University of Louisiana at Monroe. Health Studies students then study a variety of health study courses the final two years.  Admittance to the health studies program begins with admission to the University, information can be found at

The Health Studies program also offers the Healthcare Marketing/Management option online in an accelerated format.  The on-campus and online curricula are very similar; however, all health studies courses in the online program are offered in an 8-week accelerated system.  The online accelerated method provides limited disruption to a student’s life while maintaining efficient, high quality education.

 

The Health Studies program also offers personal attention, multidisciplinary learning, practicum, close ties to a major teaching hospital, and cutting-edge education relevant to healthcare. You will find a supportive and friendly faculty in the Health Studies Department who are eager to help you succeed in your studies and healthcare career.

The faculty and I look forward to welcoming you into the ULM academic community and encourage you to visit the Health Studies Department to become acquainted. You should also make an appointment with me or another faculty member to learn the requirements for progressing to your senior year as a health studies student.  If you have questions, please e-mail me at dolecheck@ulm.edu.  We look forward to hearing from you soon.
