Health
Care Information Programs

[Health
Information Technology] [ Medical Coding and Reimbursement Specialist ]
CURRICULUM Associate of Applied Arts and Sciences
Degree
Course format
Theory is
presented in lectures. Laboratory projects reinforce lectures and provide
hands-on experiences simulating on-the-job activities. Several online classes
are available. Some classes are taught in hybrid format, e.g., part online and
part on campus. Clinical practice is provided in which the student is assigned
to one or more clinical sites.
Program requirements
Students are
required to confer with HCI program faculty for curriculum planning due to
prerequisite requirements in many courses and because not all courses are
offered each quarter. There are several types of plans that students can
choose to complete their curriculum. Two suggested sequences are provided to
you below for full-time students and one for part-time students. It is
important to meet with an HCI faculty member to advise you.
