Meeting course prerequisites is an important aspect of planning your course of study. View the required route of study below needed to meet requirements.

**Please note, the initial letter "C" in the course code denotes that the course is taught through the Chang School for Continuing Education. If you are looking for the course in the Ryerson Calendar, the course code will appear without the "C" designation (ie: CHSM 301 will appear as HSM 301). These courses are equivalent in degree status.

Meeting prerequisites

The degree completion program of studies leading to a Bachelor of Health Administration (BHA) in Health Services Management is a part-time degree program for individuals with a preparation in the clinical/technical aspect of health services delivery. The program has two levels (year-3 equivalent and year-4 equivalent of a four-year honours degree). Eligible individuals are required to complete 22 one-semester courses. Other individuals may be required to complete two additional lower level liberals. It is strongly recommended that the latter requirement be met as soon as possible.

• Health Services Management Program Planning

Students are expected to pay attention to pre-requisites and are to enroll only in courses for which pre-requisites have been completed. Level 1 courses should be completed before attempting courses in the Level 2 cluster.

Recommended route of study:

Step 1: Complete all Level 1 requirements

Step 2: Complete Professionally Related Electives and Upper Level Liberal Studies Electives (3 courses) and any Lower Level Liberal Studies Electives you may have to do (1 or 2 courses). These will show up on your Letter of Admission.

Step 3. Complete Level 2 Required courses:

CHSM 418 & CHSM 419 are the Practicum and Practicum Seminar and will be your Final two courses.

If you are unable to take Level 1 and 2 courses in sequence you can always do either an Upper Level Liberal Elective or a Professionally Related Elective. Depending on when you entered the Program the Level 1 and 2 courses may not be in sequence with the required prerequisites.
