Hospitals, nursing homes, specialty clinics, and private practices all need administrators who are adept in the usual aspects of business management and who can apply those skills within the unique business model of healthcare administration.

America’s healthcare industry is quickly evolving, experiencing faster than average growth. Through the Advanced Certificate in Healthcare Administration, students will have extensive knowledge of business operations with a specialized understanding of healthcare administration. Students will be trained to become educated leaders who handle regulatory, ethical, social and political demands dealing with the new frontier of the healthcare industry. Students will gain the necessary knowledge to become more effective administrative managers in the healthcare industry while developing a deeper understanding of the unique situations healthcare managers cope with on a daily basis.

The 9 credits earned in the advanced certificate may be applied to either the Master of Business Administration or Master of Public Administration programs. Students generally carry one or two courses per semester and take up to a calendar year to complete the certificate.
