Nursing Home Administration
The Nursing Home Administration Program has been approved by the Ohio Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators. Patterned on the guidelines set forth by the Association of University Programs in Health Administration, Office of Long-Term Care, the program provides a basic education, technical work in the field, an overview of nursing home administration and specialization in chosen aspects of that system. Course work is integrated from six colleges with focus on general nursing home administration, patient services and care, and health and social service delivery systems.
The student is able to take the licensing examination of the Ohio Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators immediately upon graduation from this program. The program is evaluated by and directed by an advisory council of nursing home administrators.
A special program of study is one with a more formal curriculum than an individualized program. It is located in University College either because it is composed of course work from several colleges or is addressed to a special type of student. Printed information describing each program in further detail may be obtained from University College.
