As the health care industry continues to grow and expand, the demand for skilled health services managers also increases. Today’s health services providers and managers must possess the skills, understanding, and creativity to lead their respective organizations.
The specialization features two tracks. The Long-Term Care Track prepares students to fill the demand for administration in such facilities as assisted living, nursing facilities and continuing care retirement communities. The Health Care Track prepares students for hospital positions in areas such as human resources, materials management, environmental services, patient accounting, food service, and budget management.
