Important Information about Medical Office Administration & Office Administration Degrees:

When working with students in Catalog years 2017 and earlier, please EVALuate them based upon the archived MOA or OA checklist and the new degree track of their choice to see which option benefits them the most. Do not automatically assume the new degree is the best option. If you need assistance, please contact Nakisha Floyd! NEW students (entering MOA in Fall 2018 and beyond) have 3 program choices:Medical Office Administration: Patient Services SpecialistMedical Office Administration: Medical Coding and Billing Medical Office Administration: Medical Auditor
NEW students (entering OA in Fall 2018 and beyond) have 1 program choice:Office Administration: Office Software Specialist
Just like ITAP, it will be a case-by-case evaluation on whether it is beneficial for a current student to switch to our new degree programs. While an "old" course may sound very similar to a "new" course, a course substitution can only be done if (1) it makes sense and there is no knowledge loss for the student and (2) the "new" course is not a core course for the program. To help with this process, a document has been created that lists the core courses in each of the program / program concentrations: Core Courses in MOA / OA. This is a great reference to determine if a course substitution is even possible.
If you have any questions, please contact Nakisha Floyd!
