The Health Service Administration Program is an interdisciplinary program that provides the educational foundation for careers in health services administration, delivery, and policy.

The program prepares students to work in the challenging healthcare sector in the administration of health services.

The program prepares students for careers that make a significant contribution to improving the health of communities.

The program consists of courses from the Economics Department, the Political Science Department, and the Department of Health Studies.

The program is designed to prepare students to enter careers in health care delivery settings (hospitals, clinics, home health agencies), public health settings (county and state health departments or community–based organizations), in other allied health settings (nursing homes) or in the insurance segment (insurance companies and HMOs).

Course Rotation
Some of the Department of Health Studies courses may be available every other year.
