Program Overview

Our Bachelor of Science in healthcare administration is founded on one fundamental truth: we’re all created by God. When an individual undergoes treatment in a healthcare facility—whether it’s acute, community, or long-term—they should be treated with care and dignity. That’s why it’s your job, as a healthcare administrator, to uphold the dignity of each of your patients while providing the highest quality care possible.

A healthcare administration degree from Concordia will prepare you for various roles managing a department or a healthcare facility. It will also equip you with the ability to create a reflective self-plan for personal and professional growth. You’ll discover the ability to recognize and analyze current trends and issues related to healthcare management, which will help you grow throughout your career.

What to Expect

If you’re interested in healthcare, but not necessarily direct patient care, this may be the degree for you. Through Concordia’s healthcare administration courses, you will be exposed to business management, finance, human resources, marketing, and more. In addition, you will learn to evaluate research results applicable to a healthcare practice and how to demonstrate effective communication both in writing and presentation.
