NOTICE:
As of December 11, 2024, Camden County College has officially notified us of its closure. We will no longer be accepting new admissions for this program after Spring 2025. However, we want to reassure you that the HIT (Health Information Technology) department will remain active, and we will continue to teach out the current HIT students until May 2026. This means that students who are currently enrolled in or pursuing the HIT degree will be able to complete their studies through May 2026. This includes the coursework both at Mercer and Camden. For students who have already started taking courses in the joint program, I am happy to offer academic advising to help you plan your course schedules. Please be aware that in order to graduate by May 2026, it may be necessary to accelerate your academic progress.
