Interdisciplinary Studies
Described below are interdisciplinary
programs sponsored by two or more
colleges. A number of other jointly
sponsored programs, usually administered
by departments of two different colleges,
or by a department of the School of
Education and a department of one of the
colleges (agricultural education, for
example), are described under one of the
sponsoring units and cross-referenced by
the other.
HEALTH CARE
ADMINISTRATION
Health care administration is an undergraduate degree program that provides
students with professional preparation for
administrative positions in long-term care
facilities or for administrative and middlemanagement careers in private health care
organizations and public health service
agencies. A working relationship is
maintained with official and professional
organizations and agencies. A selected
group of health care administrators and
paramedical professionals serve as special
lecturers, program consultants, and supervisors for internships and practica.
Common Requirements
The program of study comprises a core of
common requirements combined with one
of the following elective areas of concentration: long-term care administration,
public health service administration, or
private health care administration. Common core requirements include courses in
business management, science, social
science, communications, human relations,
community health, and family resource
management.
Areas of Concentration
Long-term care administration emphasizes knowledge of the social, psychological,
and biological foundations of aging;
facility management and administration;
foodservice management; physical and
social environment of long-term care
facilities; patient care and welfare; and
government regulations. This emphasis
prepares students for careers as administrators of nursing homes, retirement residences, and multiservice facilities for the
elderly. Students pursuing the concentration are encouraged to complete the
requirements for the certificate in gerontology, which is described within the
College of Home Economics section.
Public health service administration
emphasizes public health administration,
political science, and health planning and
resource development. Students electing
this area of concentration prepare for
careers as administrators, middle managers,
health planners, or program managers for
such agencies as local and state health
departments, departments of human
services, and various health agencies.

Internship
The health care administration program
provides internships for qualifying students in an approved facility or agency for
one term of full-time administrative
experience upon successful completion of
the major portion of course work. Internships have been established throughout the
state in medical clinics, hospitals, nursing
homes, adult residential care facilities,
and multiservice centers for the elderly.
Such internships enable students to integrate and apply academic theory and
principles of specialization with practical
work in their area of concentration, and
are often instrumental in job placement
upon graduation.

Tourism Society enjoys a close relationship
with the industry, providing opportunities
for interaction with hospitality industry
managers through field trips, classroom
speakers, and other work-study relationships. Placement of graduates normally
occurs either through contact with the
numerous hospitality organizations which
visit the central university placement
facility, or through direct student industry
contact.

In addition to the general financial
assistance available to all college students,
students in this program receive direct
assistance from more than a dozen
industry organizations. This assistance is
generally administered by the donor
organization directly or the program
office.

MARINE AND MARITIME
STUDIES
The certificate program in Marine and
Maritime Studies is an interdisciplinary
program which examines the ocean and
coastal environments as complex systems
of physical phenomena upon which people
depend for the satisfaction of economic,
social, and cultural needs and desires. The
goal of the program is to give an overview
of the diverse perspectives of existing
academic disciplines now dealing with the
sea and to present human interaction with
the marine environment for what it is and
has been in the past: a complex response
with a variety of intellectual and technical
resources to an equally complex and
changing physical system. Interested

Country," that area of the Northwest
which includes Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, northwestern Wyoming, western
Montana, northern California, and southern British Columbia. The certificate
program may be taken with any major
degree program and is open to all students.
Course work involves a coordinated
instructional effort. The College of Liberal
Arts, the Departments of Anthropology,
Art, English, and History join to study and
analyze the major humanistic traditions of
the Northwest community and the relation
of these traditions to the life styles of the
region. The humanistic content is enlarged
by relevant courses in the College of
Science (the Departments of Botany and
Plant Pathology, Geography, and General
Science) and the College of Forestry (the
Departments of Forest Management and
Resource Recreation Management).
