Program Description

The field of health services administration revolves around the efficient operation of health care facilities. Health service managers work behind the scenes and handle the business components of a physician group practice, a clinical or research department, or an entire facility. The field requires education in both healthcare and business. Health service managers have a wide range of responsibilities and are involved in directing changes that conform with changes in health care law and regulations, ethics, cultural competency, and technology.

Our experienced professors know well the current trends and issues impacting health care. They’ll guide you, challenge you, and encourage you, because your success is their success. You’ll become familiar with accounting and finance, the management of health care, electronic spreadsheets, and professional writing and communication.

Internships open up a world of possibilities to help you decide where you want to work, and to help you network. This degree requires an internship.

There may be additional costs by this University.
