Excelsior College offers Online Professional Health Care Management Certificate in partnership with IDL Systems
ACCESS TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ENHANCED FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS

ALBANY, NY October 16, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Excelsior College, a world leader in higher education for working adults, has partnered with IDL Systems to launch the online Professional Health Care Management Certificate. The partnership will enhance access to professional development for health care professionals nationwide and prepare them for new and complex challenges present in the American health care delivery system.

The professional development program offers five non-credit bearing courses that are completed at a distance and delivered online using IDL's adaptive learning - which dynamically adapt to the personal learning styles of each student. Professionals who complete the Health Care Management Certificate will earn a certificate of completion through Excelsior College Center for Professional Development.

The December 2007 Excelsior College/Zogby International survey of 1,547 CEOs and small business owners nationwide, among those who are familiar with online or distance learning, found that more than four in five (83%) strongly believe that a degree from an online program is as credible as a traditional campus-based program.

The Professional Health Care Management Certificate is an online, comprehensive program providing the broad-based cutting-edge skills that the industry demands of today's health care managers. The program empowers managers to become confident leaders who can think critically and analytically despite the complexities and uncertainties of the health care system. Completion of the following five courses is required to earn Excelsior College's Professional Health Care Management Certificate, yet courses can be taken individually.
