Interdisciplinary Healthcare

Become part of the Healthcare professional team of the future! The Interdisciplinary Healthcare approach relies on health professionals from different disciplines, system administrators, and network engineers working collaboratively as a team. Here at UNG, our Interdisciplinary Healthcare students will have the opportunity to choose a concentration in areas of study such as data analytics, healthcare administration, data privacy, and more. Our instructors are equipped with not only doctoral level education in healthcare systems, but also with real world experiences in Big Data processing and privacy, nursing, information systems, and management.

Request Information How to Apply

Note: Please be aware that enrollment in a health profession education program requires hands-on clinical learning experiences in a variety of settings, where clinical partners may require vaccinations to engage in learning. Some clinical partners do not accept vaccination waivers, and, in such circumstances, the university is not able to arrange alternate clinical experiences for students. Failure to provide proof of vaccination may impede a student’s ability to complete the clinical education components required to graduate and sit for licensure or certification to practice.
