Healthcare Administration
MBA Concentration
Improve Healthcare in Your Community
The American College of Healthcare Executives calls healthcare management a “hidden” career since it is one of the last things to come to mind when most people think of medical services. The importance of this work is undeniable and tremendously influential on the availability, accessibility, and quality of healthcare in our nation’s communities. Within the healthcare system, you see the gaps in it and want to affect change and improve the process but don’t feel you have the ability or enough influence. JBU's Healthcare Administration program will teach you to empower healthcare experts to affect change at a higher level and improve the patient experience.
Who is the MBA in Healthcare Administration for?
The MBA in Healthcare Administration is great for two groups of people. The first is someone who is currently working in the healthcare industry within patient care or the administrative side. They want to affect change at a higher level and transition from patient care to process management. The second group is people who have a business background and want to break into the healthcare industry. This degree will help them expand their skill set through learning about the industry and enhance their business skills.
