Health Administration is an integration of healthcare, business management, and information systems.

As the healthcare delivery system is held to greater accountability, healthcare providers and entities must demonstrate quality outcomes, fiscal responsibility, and efficient and effective practices. To do this, health administration professionals collect and analyze data, incorporate innovative management techniques, and utilize new technologies to reengineer healthcare.

Health administration professionals are the inventors, innovators, and entrepreneurs for the constantly evolving healthcare delivery system.

The study of Classics is a balanced investigation into the societies of ancient Greece and Rome, two of the most enduring and influential societies in the western world. It also explores their interactions with people and cultures throughout the Mediterranean and its environs, including Europe, North Africa, and the Near and Middle East. Classics majors study the perplexing problems that continue to confront society and explore the answers to questions such as: how does one cope with human mortality, what is the nature of human responsibility and justice, what is the relationship between one's individual privileges and one's public obligations, how should a society be governed and how does a society's literature and art reflect and shape the beliefs, desires, and fears of its people.

Being an entrepreneur isn't just about starting a business. Entrepreneurship is a way of looking at the world. It's about innovative thinking, taking calculated risks, and, most importantly, about being able to recognize and seize outstanding opportunities to solve problems and create value.

As you develop an entrepreneurial mindset, you will envision new ways of doing things. Whatever career you pursue or company you decide to work for, having an entrepreneurial mindset will be essential for your success.

In fact, entrepreneurship skills drive problem-solving and innovation in all areas of business-new ventures, corporations, government, and the nonprofit sector.

Public History is history that happens outside of a textbook and the classroom. Public Historians interpret the past for the public in museums, national parks, historic houses, or on main streets. Public History programs give you skills to deal with different audiences, various materials, and multiple contexts. It is often called 'applied history', because it mixes deep historical knowledge with theory and practice.
