The Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management degree program is based on the premise that successful healthcare managers need to have strong business skills. This program is designed to provide students with the necessary foundation to seek entry-level employment in the healthcare services industry. The foundation of management theory and business course skills affords students the opportunity to use the analytic approaches in their healthcare management courses that can be transferred into the healthcare services environment.
By the end of the program the student should be able to:
- Demonstrate ability to discuss and apply knowledge of terminology, concepts and principles specific to the healthcare management field.
- Demonstrate ability to research, critically analyze, appropriately interpret and utilize data in problem solving, decision-making and case study analysis within the healthcare management environment.
