Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Applied Science degree in Long-Term Care Administration prepares students to become specialized, self-critical, accountable administrators in long-term care facilities. Facilities may include home and community-based care, assisted living, nursing homes, hospices, and related health care industries.

There are two options for completion of this degree.  The traditional option is a four-year BSAS degree. 

The second option is a 64 s.h. degree completion program.  Students must enroll at Youngstown State University and transfer the required courses within the major and general education requirements.  The remainder of the courses are offered online and will satisfy the final two years of the BSAS degree (64 s.h.).

Students must complete all required coursework for the university and major and have:

  • an overall GPA of 2.25
  • a "C" or better in all courses in the major
  • 1000 hours in an approved internship
  • 48 hours of upper-division courses
  • 129 hours of coursework overall

A minor is not necessary for this major and the requirements for the 21-semester hour Certificate in Applied Gerontology are fulfilled within the major.
