Healthcare Management and Healthcare Administration Degrees
Online degree programs in healthcare management and healthcare administration from accredited universities and colleges.
Healthcare Management and Healthcare Administration

Medical and health services managers must be familiar with management principles and practices. A master's degree in health services administration, long-term care administration, health sciences, public health, public administration, or business administration is the standard credential for most generalist positions in this field. However, a bachelor's degree is adequate for some entry-level positions in smaller facilities, at the departmental level within health care organizations, and in health information management. Physicians' offices and some other facilities may substitute on-the-job experience for formal education.

Employment of medical and health services managers is expected to grow faster than average for all occupations through 2014, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Median annual earnings of medical and health services managers were $67,430 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $52,530 and $88,210. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $41,450, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $117,990.
