The Healthcare Management (HCM) program educates a diverse community of
students who have varying levels of work experience. The four year curriculum provides a broad base of knowledge and skills to prepare students with the needed general analytical, communication and management competencies for professional jobs in the field of healthcare management.
To meet the needs of our diverse student body, the HCM program professional courses are taught using a mixture of traditional classroom, online and hybrid instruction methodologies. Classroom instruction is usually held weekly, during the evening hours.
Labor statistics indicate the job outlook and salaries for healthcare management positions is growing faster than the national average and that means more high-paying job opportunities for our graduates. Alternatively, for those interested in graduate studies, this program will successfully prepare students for advanced studies in management and health-related disciplines.
