Office Systems

Medical office administration gives specialized training to students interested in health-related office work. The program takes a balanced approach, offering practical preparation in basic office systems skills (such as transcription and encoding/billing) and office management as well as medical office work. Liberal arts courses help prepare well-rounded, ethical, competent Christian people for the medical area.

Keyboarding skills: Students who complete keyboarding in high school take a placement exam to determine a course best suited for their skill. Required courses waived by placement exam must be replaced with other business electives.

Academic Requirements: Students must have at least a “C” in all office administration courses. A minor must be completed.

Academic Program Fee: $90 per semester or $22.50 per payment.
