Health and Human Services BACHELOR S DEGREE If you want to make a difference in the health and wellbeing of others but don t want to provide direct, hands-on patient care, Marian University s online Bachelor of Health and Human Services (BHHS) degree is the ideal fit. Our evolving healthcare landscape increasingly requires professionals in a variety of roles to serve patients and ensure efficient, effective delivery of services. Although there are similarities, HHS careers are different than those in public health or social work. HHS specialists use their knowledge to educate and serve others. Careers in health and human services go beyond individual care. As an HHS graduate, you ll find many career options from which you can choose. In some positions, you will help coordinate service delivery, manage agencies, provide support services, or educate and improve the community. You may work individually or as a member of a team that could include healthcare providers, social service workers, and others. Because the career paths vary, so does the amount of responsibility, education, and supervision required for success. Upon completion of the program, you can pursue employment opportunities like: Health educator Community health manager Population health coordinator Nonprofit program coordinator Quality improvement coordinator Health and wellness coordinator Workforce development counselor Administrative services manager marian.edu/healthandhumanservices After earning my degree, I was handpicked by my company s president to participate in an executive leadership training program, which will give me invaluable organizational opportunities and insights. I have no doubt that earning a BHHS, combined with 20 years of IT experience, made all the difference.
