Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration

The Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration (HCA) is offered through the Division of Health Services Education.

The HCA Program combines liberal arts and an extensive professional core emphasizing the development of management and leadership skills for application in a variety of health care settings. The unique multi-disciplinary design of the curriculum places HCA students together with students from other health care disciplines.

Health Care Administration offers a wide array of professional opportunities in many different health care settings including hospitals, clinics, managed care providers, long-term care facilities, insurance companies, commercial vendors, and government agencies.
