The School of Health Sciences offers a
program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree (B.S.) with a major in Health
Care Management. The School of Business
cooperates in the offering of this major, but all advisement for the program in
conducted by the School of Health Sciences. The Health Care Management program
prepares students for a variety of entry and mid-level management positions in
health services organizations, such as benefits offices, insurance companies,
home health agencies, PPOs, HMOs, doctors' offices, group practices, hospices,
hospitals, nursing homes, extended care facilities, and ambulatory care
centers. A significant
strength of the program is the well-rounded mix of learning opportunities and
methods used to reinforce learning. Blended course work in business, health
care, technology, and the arts and sciences provides the interdisciplinary
perspective required for performance in complex health care organizations.
Vital ingredients for management success, such as the ability to think
critically, communicate, and function in a team-oriented environment, are
carefully taught, assessed, and reinforced throughout the program. Theory is
balanced with practice and reinforced by opportunities to experience health
care management and gain valuable hands-on experience. Problem-oriented
research projects bring theory into focus and facilitate analysis and
resolution of complex issues.
