Program description

The BS in health systems management provides students with a unique opportunity to develop a marketable skill set via a multidisciplinary educational approach to the development of health care leaders, technologists and entrepreneurs. The flexible program allows students to select one of two focus areas: technology entrepreneurship management and information technology management. The degree develops graduates whose decisions are evidence-based, which is a critical skill as health systems evolve. Students will receive a strong foundation in health systems, technology, business and consumer-behavior associated with health, with an emphasis on innovation and service development. Program graduates will have the skills to transform the current health care system or individual health care organizations to become more efficient and agile by improving processes, adopting best practices, evaluating and adopting technologies. Graduates will lead such organizations and systems to become more competitive globally.
