This program is currently available online and in the classroom. Students who choose to take online courses are urged to complete either CGS 2100C or CGS 1060C prior to enrolling in online-based courses. After enrolling in online courses, students should visit http://learn.ucf.edu. Students must complete all University-wide graduation requirements (general education, foreign language, Gordon Rule, etc.), some of which are rarely online. Prerequisite courses are rarely offered online. For more information, see http://distrib.ucf.edu/home. Students in this major are required to have an overall GPA or 2.5 or better upon graduation. Although a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 is needed for the program, students should plan to maintain a higher GPA to be competitive for graduate programs in Health Services Administration as those programs require a GPA of at least 3.0 for admission.

Health Services Administration (B.S.) may be completed fully online with the exception of internship, although not all elective options or program prerequisites may be offered online. Newly admitted students choosing to complete this program exclusively via UCF online classes may enroll with a reduction in campus-based fees.
