Health Care Management
The health care management major promotes an understanding of complex, evolving, and integrated health care and reimbursement systems. Students analyze perspectives, methods, and values associated with the delivery and financing of health services. They evaluate client needs, fiscal constraints, management practices, ethical principles, public policies, promotional strategies, and system designs to discover ways to meet the growing demands for affordable, efficient, responsible, and effective health care. The major promotes organizational insight and managerial ability for those who desire leadership positions in health-related enterprises. It is especially suitable for health care professionals with technical/clinical degrees, nurses, reimbursement specialists, utilization review professionals, medical office or managed care personnel, and health insurance providers. Minimum of 30 credits required in professional clinical training and registry/certifications. Licensed practical nurses will require an additional 6 credit hours in electives.
