Guide to Health Care Administration Degree Programs

Health care is the country's largest industry and health care administration covers the management of a broad range of health care facilities including hospitals, clinics, nursing and residential care facilities, physicians' offices and medical/diagnostic laboratories.

A health care administration degree is essential for anyone considering a job in health care administration. A bachelor's degree in health care administration should qualify you for entry-level positions in smaller facilities, while a master's level degree is a pre-requisite for most other health care administration posts.

Students are well advised to carefully consider their career plans before deciding on the type of health care administration degree program:

  • A generalist health care administration degree provides a solid foundation in economics, strategic and financial planning, economics, finance and accounting, the health care system and the principles of sound health care administration.
  • A specialist program will also include these subjects, but tailored to the needs of a specific health care facility, such as nursing homes.
