Transition to a New Role in Healthcare
If you have previous professional experience or education relevant to healthcare, the healthcare management major is designed for you. Working professionals who are interested in transitioning to the healthcare industry may also benefit from this program.
While pursuing your bachelor's, you may take up to two courses in St. Kate's MBA in Healthcare or Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership. Courses will count toward both your bachelor's and master's.
In this program you’ll study business practices, leadership skills, and support services used by health sector leaders to identify, treat, prevent and control disease, sickness, and injury.
Demand for medical and health services managers is growing rapidly, with median annual earnings of $99,730, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Nearly 25% of all new jobs created within the next 10 years are projected to be within the healthcare sector. As a graduate of St. Kate's hybrid (on-campus and online) healthcare management degree program, you’ll be prepared for careers in:
- clinics
- hospitals
- health information and technology
- health insurance
- long-term care facilities
