Health and Wellness Management Program Description
The Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness Management is an interdisciplinary program that helps students gain a broad understanding of the ways in which health care systems, health care costs, employee wellness programs and values of health/wellness management programs impact the work environment. Increasing healthcare costs and a growing number of healthcare coverage options will spur demand for professionals to develop strategically integrated wellness programs. In light of these trends, a few areas graduates of the Health and Wellness Management program will be able to help are:
- Integrate a wide array of programs to enhance employee safety and wellness and improve work-life balance
- Influence corporate/community productivity
- Reduce health care costs
- Engage management and leadership at multiple levels
The major is offered through online study in collaboration with partner universities UW-Stevens Point, UW- LaCrosse and UW- River Falls. It is based in the Health and Human Performance Department, and supported by the Distance Learning Center. Additional information is available at http://hwm.wisconsin.edu.
