A Message from the Director
Constantly improving the affordability, innovation, and quality of healthcare is a goal shared by all leaders in the healthcare industry. Whether your role in healthcare focuses on individual, team, or organizational effectiveness, you must possess the necessary business skills to advance. Success in the healthcare industry is an individual feat and has different meanings for different people. You may find success in the boardroom, in an entrepreneurial venture, in government, in the private sector, or in the not-for-profit environment. The Healthcare MBA recognizes this diversity and includes a curriculum that is practical for various types of leaders in the field.
Today, the healthcare industry is experiencing dynamic changes. Increasingly specialized managerial and business expertise is required in healthcare management. For example, pharmaceutical companies, medical equipment providers, insurance companies, government agencies, and financial institutions require leaders with business skills. The US Department of Labor reports that the demand for leaders will grow at a rapid rate in response to the ever-expanding and complex healthcare industry. Entrepreneurs and managers of health services are responsible for multi-million dollar facilities and thousands of employees. They require effective analytical skills, human resource management tools, a sound understanding of finance and accounting principles, and an ability to recognize strategic opportunities.
Our Healthcare MBA program will help you succeed in this new evolving environment and help you take advantage of the many existing opportunities for growth. The program has been designed in an online format allowing you to earn your degree with flexibility and convenience in 24 months.
