Health Administration Degree - Online and Campus Programs

Health Administration is a promising career for health care professionals who want to advance into management and leadership roles. Health administrators are usually affiliated with: hospitals, clinics, physicians' offices, research laboratories and nursing care facilities. Health care administration involves the conjunction of medical or health service skills with solid business and managerial expertise. Health administrators plan, execute, oversee, and improve health care systems.

How to Prepare for a Health Administration Career

Many health professionals advance into administration from nursing, radiology, or another allied health career. Administration assistants who support top administrators may also gain experience and become health administrators. Administration assistants oversee smaller sections of the health care operation, such as nursing, surgery, health information, or therapy. You can advance through a combination of experience and additional health administration degrees or classes.
