Employment of medical and health services managers is projected to grow 28 percent from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations. As the large baby-boom population ages and people remain active later in life, there should be increased demand for healthcare services.
The median annual wage for medical and health services managers was $101,340 in May 2021.
Upon completion of the program, graduates will earn a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Leadership in Health Care and will be able to:
- Understand policies and regulations associated with health care delivery.
- Learn the principles of health care supervision, financial management, and human resource management.
- Integrate the use of marketing, information technology, and strategic analysis and planning in health care services.
