Bachelor of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration

The rapid growth of the healthcare field has led to a demand for qualified administrators who can apply business principles to healthcare administration and delivery of services. BBAs in Healthcare Administration have grown to meet this need, and students who pursue this major can expect strong job prospects upon graduation. The BLS projects positions for medical and health services managers to grow 18% from 2018-2028, a rate about triple the national average. A BBA in healthcare administration focuses on general business principles (BBA core) along with specialized topics in healthcare administration, such as healthcare quality and safety law, and healthcare informatics. These classes prepare learners to manage healthcare processes, systems, and services. Students examine general business issues such as marketing, technology, and finance, as well as specialized industry concerns such as insurance billing and hospital operations. Healthcare BBA graduates can manage operations in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, community health centers, and insurance agencies. 

 

It is important to note that Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) programs are designed to provide students with a strong foundation in business courses and advanced courses for specific majors. A BBA helps students build managerial skills and prepares them for business administration positions.
