Health Care Management

In addition to providing effective care, today's health care organizations urgently need to be effectively managed in terms of organizational issues, human resources, and costs. The health care management program at Elms College provides students with business management skills and knowledge of health care delivery systems needed to work in this growing field.

 
 

Graduates with a health care management degree can explore exciting careers in:

  • health and medical care facilities, including hospitals and clinics
  • long-term care facilities
  • public health departments
  • community health agencies
  • physician practices
  • insurance companies

A required internship gives students invaluable on-the-job experience.
