Summary of Requirements
University Requirements
All students are required to complete the university's General Education (GenEd) curriculum (Analytical Reading & Writing, Intellectual Heritage I and II, Arts, Human Behavior, Global/World Society, U.S. Society, Race & Diversity, Science & Technology, Quantitative Literacy).
All °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø students must take a minimum of two writing-intensive courses at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø as part of the major. The writing-intensive courses for this major are ±á±õ²ÑÌý3297 and ±á±õ²ÑÌý4298.
College Requirement
All CPH students must complete the College Core Course, ±á¸é±Ê¸éÌý1001 Public Health: The Way We Live, Work and Play.
Clearance Requirements
Please note the Health Information Management program requires students to complete internships at facilities both on and off the University campus. These placements may require criminal background checks, Act 33/34 clearances and perhaps a drug screen. Placements may also require the student to maintain personal health insurance. The results of these requirements may limit and potentially eliminate placement options which can, in turn, result in an inability to meet graduation requirements.
Program Requirements
Students in the HIM program are required to satisfy the following prerequisite courses before beginning HIM upper level courses. A grade of C or better is required for all prerequisite and professional courses (a grade of C- is not acceptable).

You should consult with your advisor for information on the distinctions between Anatomy and Physiology selection sequence and its implication for your degree and career goals. Satisfactory completion of the °±õ±·³§Ìý1221 and °±õ±·³§Ìý1222 sequence or the °±õ±·³§Ìý1223 and °±õ±·³§Ìý1224 sequence will meet the two-course GenEd Science and Technology requirement. These courses are similar but not interchangeable and must be taken in the correct sequence. Students choosing the °±õ±·³§Ìý1221 and °±õ±·³§Ìý1222 sequence may need to take an additional 2-credit elective to meet credit hours degree graduation requirement. Please see a departmental academic advisor for clarification.
