Bachelor of Science Applied Science Long-Term Care Administration (2 + 2)

As of Fall 2022, this UP partnership program will no longer be admitting new students. Current UP students should contact ? to discuss degree completion. Students interested in this field of study may consider the YSU Masters of Health and Human Services (MHHS), which will include this area of study in Fall 2023, under the Administration track. LCCC students interested in this YSU program, can contact Dr. Daniel Van Dussen to discuss this graduate degree opportunity. 

As health care needs continue to rise, especially those for the growing elderly population, so does the need for long-term care administrators. Long-term care administrators manage the daily activities of such residential facilities as nursing homes and retirement communities. Mature, responsible students with strong leadership skills and a desire to work with the elderly would be well-suited for the long-term care administration program at Youngstown State University.

How do I know if I am in the University Partnership?  

How do I know if I am in the University Partnership?

  • You are following the UP Curriculum Pathway from the associate to the bachelor’s degree.
    • For 2:2 degrees, you have been admitted to the partner institution and have registered for your first classes the upcoming semester, 3rd year of partner classes.  The first day of the 3rd year class, you are officially a UP student.
    • For 3:1 degrees, you are a UP student if you are registered for the 3rd year in either bridgework LCCC classes or UP partner classes. You may not be necessarily admitted with the UP partner just yet.  The first day of the 3rd year of UP or LCCC bridgework class, you are officially a UP student.
  • UP Office will use the email address your partner institution shares with us, which is once a semester, to email out a reminder to you about the UP program supports and services.
  • If you are unsure if you are in the UP, you are welcome to email or call the UP Office to verify your status.
