The Health Care Management and Administration program is designed
for students who are interested in health and health care in America.
Students in this program realize that public health and health care are
major public concerns and plan to seek employment in one of a
variety of health-related management, administrative, supportive, planning
and policy positions. The Health Care Management and Administration
program is designed to provide students with a basic understanding
of both the business and health fields. The program offers the first two
years of an undergraduate major developed for students with an interest
in non-clinical or non-technical health and health care careers.
Students in the Health Care Management and Administration program
can expect to achieve the following objectives: (1) a comprehensive
understanding of health care issues and the health care system that
will underpin various educational and career goals; (2) training in
basic administrative, managerial and methodological skills; (3) preparation
for entry-level employment in the community’s health and health
care organizations, and in support systems in the private and public
sectors; and (4) preparation for a graduate program leading to an
advanced degree in health services administration or a related field.
Upon completion of the Associate of Arts in Health Care Management
and Administration, students will be prepared to transfer to a four-year
institution which offers a baccalaureate in health care management,
administration, and/or policy.
