Adrian College added Bachelor of Business Administration Undergraduate degree majors in Human Resources Management, and Professional Sales last month.
“Adrian College is always forward thinking and has found a way to provide new majors for our students and prospective students, even during this current pandemic,” said Andrea Milner, Adrian College Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs. “What could be more relevant than seeking public health and supply chain management careers during this uncertain time?”
Experts predict there will be a large demand for workers in those career fields in the near future.
“I am excited about the new major and minor in public health as it is relevant to students interested in science, math, and health,” said Cheryl Nutter, Adrian College assistant professor in healthcare management. “The current COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of coordinating health and wellness along with socioeconomic factors and legal issues that impact outcomes. Knowledge in this subject area will be in demand in practice as well as research.”
She added that students will take courses in epidemiology, biostatistics, health economics, health policy and regulation, and communication strategies that become critical in sharing a unified public.
“The degree is multifaceted and aligns well with a liberal arts education as there is a need for broad perspectives and critical thinking to solve new health issues as they arise,” she said.
Adrian College has been on the forefront of new ideas in higher education with partnerships created with Google and Harvard Business School in the last two years.
Dr. Antonis Coumoundouros, professor of philosophy, religion and leadership, was also very excited about the college faculty approving the new programs.
“These additions to our programs show once again that Adrian College is an institution where innovation happens all the time,” Coumoundouros said. “These programs will provide more academic options and career opportunities for our current and prospective students.”
Current students interested in any of the programs should contact their student advisor. Perspective students can get more information about these new programs by contacting academicaffairs@adrian.edu.
