The Health Care Administration program at UT provides students with the knowledge and skills to manage as a health care professional. Students learn how to manage in health care organizations, how to deal with personnel, and how to interpret and comply with laws that affect healthcare providers, administrators and organizations. Course work in organizational, information systems and financial management are combined with human relations and health care issues to provide the student with a comprehensive set of skills for advancing in the profession of health care administration.

Graduates prepare themselves for administrative positions in hospitals, long term care, and outpatient facilities, physician offices, mental health organizations, insurance companies, public health agencies, and other types of health organizations. Our program also prepares students who wish to seek their Master’s degree at some point in their career, often an important consideration for those eventually seeking senior health care executive positions.

Students who enroll in the 2 + 2 year program must have an associate’s degree in a health related field. Students who select this program are often already gainfully employed in the health care field (nurses, respiratory therapists, etc.). They wish to further their education to better prepare themselves for administrative positions. Upon completion of the program, the student receives the Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Care Administration (see curriculum). If the student also enrolls in specific elective business courses, he/she can also concurrently earn a General Minor in Business (see curriculum).

Note: All but two courses are available online: HCAR4530 Problem Solving in Health Care, and HCAR4550 Health Care Finance. An internship in health care administration (HCAR4540) is also required for degree completion (not online). Students interested in majoring in health care administration should carefully review the Web site.
