ABOUT OUR UNDERGRADUATE BSHSA PROGRAM
Our undergraduate BSHSA program is an important part of creating a health administration “learning community” at Xavier. This
means that all of our students, both graduate and undergraduate, feel that they belong to one Xavier HSA home. To accomplish
this, the students are working together on various initiatives, there is some graduate faculty overlap, and our department
assistants, Tina Farrell for MHSA and Judy Janzen for BSHSA, coordinate a myriad of things to assure that. In this HERALD I
wanted to update you about our undergraduate program.
OUR UNDERGRADUATE BSHSA STUDENTS
This fall, 2015, marks the fifth year for Xavier’s Undergraduate Degree in Health Services Administration. What began as a
research project by MHSA students in 2009 developed into a feasible degree that was approved by the Xavier University Board of
Trustees in 2011. Although the program was planned to start in the fall of 2012, the high demand by students resulted in us
starting the BSHSA degree a year earlier in 2011 instead. MHSA Prof. Karen Kent served as interim director to get the program
launched, and Dr. Rick Browne was appointed director as of 7/1/12. Below is the list of our undergraduate students. We’ve
now graduated two BSHSA classes.

These 109 BSHSA students have eclipsed the number of students last fall – we had 102 then, which is a 7% increase this year.
Our senior class of 29 students last fall has now increased to 38 students. While the number of freshmen looks small at this
point, there will be numerous students transferring majors as the weeks go by. BSHSA is one of the fastest growing
undergraduate programs at Xavier.
ALUM-N-I-C-E Our 1,587 Graduate MHSA Alumni and 37 Undergraduate BSHSA Alumni are the pride and joy of Xavier and our
HSA Department. We applaud your achievements and commitment to the highest quests in health services administration, we
hold you up as models for our students to emulate, and we happily claim you as “ours”.
We celebrate with our entire BSHSA Class of 2015 graduates who share their first jobs:
