Colorado Technical University (CTU), a leading provider of
education for career-motivated students, today announced the launch
of two new programs available online: a Master of Science in
Management (MSM) with a concentration in enterprise information
systems and an Associate of Science in Health Administration
Services (ASHAS).
The MSM with a concentration in enterprise information systems
was developed as a result of a partnership with a Fortune 150
company and one of the world's largest providers of information
technology services. CTU worked with the company’s office in the
Colorado Springs area that was looking for a culture change through
employee professional development.
“Working with our education partner we developed an advanced
degree that met its business needs,” said Mike Boyd, vice president
of the Center for Business and Community Partnerships at CTU
Colorado Springs. “We started with a small group of students and
then saw that this degree could be applicable to students and
employers nationwide.”
The MSM with a concentration in enterprise information systems
helps students learn how to analyze, create and manage technical
solutions that work across an entire organization, not just
specific departments or business functions. This is especially
important given the complexities of today’s larger organizations.
The program teaches professional skills, including effectively
presenting technology goals, solutions and budgets for
upper-management approval; determining and calculating project
risks; and planning projects based on time, cost, resources and
technical specifications.
The new ASHAS degree is designed to prepare students to meet
business needs in the healthcare industry.
“These online programs demonstrate our commitment to
career-relevant curricula designed to meet today’s changing
workforce needs and opportunities,” said David Leasure, interim
chief executive officer for CTU. “Through these degree programs,
students will develop practical skills that should expand their
career opportunities – whether they’re seeking to advance in their
current jobs or wanting to switch professions.”
The Associate of Science in Health Administration Services
(ASHAS) is designed to provide training in the principles and
techniques used in the administrative side of the healthcare
industry. This online degree program offers students the
opportunity to learn about healthcare finance, human resources,
healthcare administration, reimbursement systems and healthcare
records, as well as regulatory, ethical and legal issues facing the
industry. As part of the curriculum, the program also offers
students the opportunity to participate in a professional learning
experience in a healthcare setting.
The ASHAS degree is also designed to prepare students to take
the Certified Medical Administrative Assistant exam offered by the
National Health Career Association. This exam is voluntary, but
passing it can be a further indication that a graduate is capable
of performing the administrative and clinical tasks necessary to
keep offices and physicians clinics running smoothly.
