The HADM Concentration in Long-Term Care Administration
prepares students for job opportunities in nursing homes, assisted living
facilities, adult day care and work with chronically ill populations. Students
complete a sequence of 40 credits of Health Administration, 21 credits of
Business and 12 credits of Gerontology courses, as well as a 1000 hour HADM
internship. Upon successful completion of the curriculum, students will have
met the educational requirements of the Pennsylvania State Board of Licensure
for Nursing Home Administrators and be eligible to take the state licensure
examination for long-term care administrators. The HADM/LTCA track increases
credits for the Health Administration degree to 134 credits. A
10-hour-per-semester service learning requirement is integrated into the
HADM/LTCA course work.
Students may also earn a second minor in Gerontology by
taking SOC 110 and GERO 230. The HADM/LTCA program is accredited by the
National Association of Boards of Examiners of Long-Term Care Administrators
(NAB) in Washington, D.C.
