Brenau University and Lanier Technical College have recently inked a deal that will benefit students seeking healthcare administration careers.
Students with health information management technology credits from Lanier Tech can now transfer those credits to the bachelor's degree program in healthcare administration program at Brenau as part of an articulation agreement.
Brenau University and Lanier Technical College signed the articulation agreement on Oct. 19.
The Georgia Department of Labor reports that in Hall County more than 14,000 people worked a healthcare-related job in the first quarter of 2023.
Interim President David L. Barnett, Ph.D., said Brenau looks forward to additional opportunities to partner with Lanier Tech.
“There are all sorts of ways we can dovetail with each other, share each other’s expertise and share each other’s resources,” Barnett said. “People in the community of all ages, all the way into their most senior years, have told me they are interested in ways that we can serve the community, educate the community and help people have better lives. So there are people inside and outside our institutions that care deeply.”
Previously, Brenau and Lanier Tech signed agreements for interior design and organizational leadership in 2022.
“What we want is the same thing that Brenau University wants: We want better opportunities for the citizens that we serve,”Lanier Tech President Tim McDonald said.
