Health Care Management Major
Degree Requirements
Graduates of the health care management major possess the knowledge and skills necessary to enhance the management and delivery of health services and to serve as future leaders for health care organizations in a changing health care market. Therefore, the curriculum for the health care management major incorporates a multidisciplinary approach that includes public health, health services research, and finance and management, as well as sociological, political and economic orientations.
Students must satisfy the General Education (GenEd) requirements, the health and management core courses (42 credits) and supporting interdisciplinary courses (19 credits). The program also allows students the flexibility to develop specialty knowledge areas in completing the upper-level course.
The Health Care Management curriculum is designed to provide students
with a comprehension of U.S. health care organizations, a public health
orientation including epidemiological concepts and tools, and the math
language and computer competencies for research development, organizational
management and/or program evaluation. Depending on a student’s
interest, graduate training in health administration is recommended after
completing this course of study.
