Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

APC Document  40:                                          Replace MGMT 320 with MGMT 325

 

 

Effective Date: Fall 2007

 

 

1.   Delete:        On pg 177, entire entry for MGMT 320:

 

                  320       Management of Health Services (3)

Covers the structure and functions of a variety of health organizations and professions.  Examines the determinants and measurement of health and disease, as well as the interdisciplinary aspects of health services organization, finance and delivery.  Spring.

 

 

      Add:           On pg 177, new course title and description, MGMT 325:

 

      325       Introduction to Health Services Delivery and Policy  (3)

      An introduction to the current trends, practices, and policy issues in the delivery of health services in the United States. No credit given if credit received for         MGMT 320 or MGMT 425. Spring.

 

      Impact:

      The impact will be minimal. The instructor presently teaching MGMT 320 will teach this  course. This class will be an option for students in the Business Management and Administration concentration and an elective for students in other majors.

 

       Rationale:  

      Health care delivery and policy issues continue to be of interest to students in a variety of majors. This course combines key information on health care administration with current trends and policy issues to provide a course with both an introductory element and a broader examination of key changes underway.  The course will be proposed for inclusion in a Topical Cluster.
