Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management and Policy (BSHMP)
Reform healthcare from the inside out
Study the complex economic and political factors affecting an issue that is critical to all of us—our health. You’ll be taught by nationally known faculty as well as practitioners who understand the issues firsthand. Learn healthcare law from practicing attorneys, long-term care from the administrator of a 300-bed facility, and strategic planning from a hospital CEO. You’ll also have opportunities to explore global approaches to healthcare management by studying abroad in places like France, Germany and Italy, or Copenhagen. You’ll graduate with the leadership skills necessary to ensure people have access to the health services they need—and the analytical skills to reform healthcare from the inside out.
