Health studies at Siena features three tracks of study: health administration, health sciences and health policy, according to program director
"Graduates will be qualified to work in the public or private sector," he said. "With their strong background in legal and compliance issues, they'll be an excellent fit for the management of health care facilities and organizations, as well as jobs with local, state and federal government agencies."
Students will spend the first three years of the program at Siena, and given the intensive nature of study, they will need to take 17 credits during most semesters as well as summer courses. Coursework during the fourth and final year will be taken at both Siena and Albany Law.
The M.S.L.S. (which is not a J.D.) is 30 credits, 12 of which will be accepted by Albany Law directly from Siena, including coursework in morals and medicine, social epidemiology, and the ethics of science and technology.
Siena in turn will accept credits from Albany Law from among 15 different courses on such topics as public health law, HIPAA compliance, health care in the age of the Affordable Care Act, bioethics and genetics.
