Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management, informatics option
"I started dual credit classes during my junior and senior years of high school through Southeast. The atmosphere of the college was great! The staff I worked with made me feel at home, and they were also by my side when I had questions or was unsure of what to do next. The amount of options that are available at Southeast for degrees, classes and furthering your education has been beyond wonderful."
