Health Care Professional - Administration Option

The Health Care Professional Administration program prepares students as administrators or managers for entry-level positions throughout the healthcare industry.  This program provides students with a general knowledge of business, administration or organizations, healthcare policies, and medical terminology.  As the healthcare industry continues to grow, so does the need for skilled individuals to fill new positions.  All healthcare settings need medical practitioners, but they also need highly trained managers and administrators.

Healthcare administrators may work in hospitals, doctor’s offices, nursing homes, surgical facilities, rehabilitation centers, emergency clinics, legal and financial offices, insurance companies, and many other areas of the industry.  Graduates of this program will have job opportunities in the following positions: health office manager, health care administrator, quality improvement coordinator, customer services representative, patient care coordinator, and other positions.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), overall employment of administrative services and facilities is projected to grow 7 percent from 2021 to 2031, about as fast as the average for all occupations.
