About this course
To prepare you for certification, this program covers all sections of the EDAC exam.
Interior designers, healthcare providers, hospital administrators, engineers, contractors, and researchers, as well as architects, should consider this program so they can play a more significant role in designing, managing, and evaluating such spaces.
In addition to studying health science and the behavioral sciences, ethical and cultural issues, and evidence-based practice, you will participate in real-world projects. For example, students have surveyed and observed families with children who have autism and other disabilities while others have gathered data about the effect of the environment on the mental health of those with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Ball State’s award winning online programs feature a competitive price tag. We encourage you to compare our quality and our costs with others.
