Regents approve online masters program in Health and Wellness Management

In a meeting here at UWGB last week, the UW System Board of Regents approved the online Masters of Science in Health and Wellness Management program. The graduate program is offered in partnership with UW-Extension, UW-Green Bay, UW-River Falls, UW-Stevens Point, UW-Parkside and UW-Superior. With a projected job growth of 13% (2014 to 2024) in these areas, the program will fill a need in the increasingly competitive field of health and wellness management. Courses are scheduled to start in September 2016 pending approval from the Higher Learning Commission — one of six regional institutional accreditors in the U.S. Christine Vandenhouten, nursing, will serve as UWGB’s Academic Director.
