Healthcare Management (BA)

The B.A. in Healthcare Management program prepares students with the knowledge and skills needed to successfully meet the needs of a growing healthcare industry. Students explore how healthcare managers, administrators, and executives plan, direct, and coordinate health services for the populations they serve. Students learn about key areas in healthcare, including regulation and compliance, healthcare quality management, finance, and emerging trends in the field. Students also gain valuable skills in effective professional communication, community engagement, and innovation that will help them grow as people-oriented professionals. This program was designed to align with Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA) Bodies of Knowledge to ensure that the knowledge, skills, and abilities mastered in the program are directly relevant to careers in healthcare. There is high demand for healthcare professionals by employers due to an aging population and declining workforce, and students in this program will develop the skills to lead a variety of healthcare organizations in response to this need.
