Information and Technology Literacy
Information Literacy is formally introduced in the course AHG300 Professional Writing in Health Care and reinforced throughout the Health Care Leadership curriculum. (The course INT100-Information Literacy and Library Research Techniques is not required but may be used as a general education elective.) Computer applications are required in several courses; non-credit workshops are offered periodically for students needing assistance with basic computer applications.
Analytical Skills
The math, statistics or research methods course used to fulfill the quantitative reasoning requirement (see above) provides a foundation for analytical skill applications in HCL courses, particularly AHA432 Financial and Physical Resource Administration and AHA441 Health Care Planning and Evaluation.
Ethics, Values, and Respect for Human Diversity
These concepts are integrated throughout the student's academic experience and are a primary focus of AHA442-Ethical and Legal Issues in Health Care and AHA400-Overview of Health Care Delivery.
