Healthcare Administration

Healthcare organizations fill a variety of roles that extend far beyond providing direct care to patients. Healthcare administrators lead, manage and work in many areas of healthcare organizations, ensuring that business operates smoothly so patients can receive the care they need. It’s a growing field that allows you to combine a passion for helping others while giving you the flexibility to work in a diversity of fields, from finance to marketing to human resources and more.

Our program teaches you about the health care industry and provides you with the business and management skills needed to effectively lead or work in any type of healthcare organization. The course-load you’ll take will allow you plenty of room to add on a minor, explore other areas of study or consider a double major.
