Health Care Management (Minor)

The minor in Health Care Management is intended to introduce students in business, healthcare, and other majors to the field of health care management. The minor will provide foundational learning for students who desire to enter any of a number of different health, health-related, and/or health management professions. Understanding healthcare management principles can be beneficial to those who want to integrate their liberal arts studies with a health care management learning experience. The minor is also a strong undergraduate prelude to the graduate Master of Health Care Administration (MHA) program.
