Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Announces Grant
to Improve Healthcare Education

The Academic and Student Affairs Division, working with the Healthcare Education Industry Partnership, will fund three projects that will inform the development of a broad field AS in the health sciences. The purpose of the grants is to provide a foundation for the successful design of the degree using a field study approach. The grants are an opportunity for a college and a university – public or private – (or multiple colleges and universities) to begin the process of developing the broad field AS degree.
