Assessment DescriptionAfter reviewing student handbooks for both the HIT and MA programs, students select one degree or certificate program they wish to complete. Historically, it has been difficult for students to choose and focus on only one. Students were given an additional course period to learn about and discuss their options. The Program Advisor of Health Information Technology attended this class session to answer questions and provide additional information. Students were able to select the best option for them and apply for the program of their choosing with a 100% completion rate.
