UMPI - Healthcare Administration Degree - joshua27 - 11-11-2025
Hello all, my wife is looking to obtain a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration at UMPI. She currently has an associate of applied science so I know she will have some transfer credit but has anyone already put together a suitable degree plan for the Healthcare Administration degree?
I previously graduated from UMPI with a BABA in Supply Chain by utilizing this forum's help so I'm hoping to find a good path to lead her down. Thanks in advance!

To start: You should provide more details with the info asked for in the addendum and template. Does her AAS have technical credits? If so, does it have 40+ in technical credits? If not, I'd still recommend the following pathway due to the requirements of the Healthcare Admin degree.
AAS > UMPI BAS (this is to get all the remaining transfer credits prior to doing the Healthcare Admin program) > UMPI HCA.
Why? You get two degrees for the price of one, the HCA has 60+ credits that can't be transferred in. You need at least 2 sessions.
