Healthcare Management

What You'll Learn

A healthcare administration concentration within the business administration program will prepare students for leadership roles in healthcare organizations by combining foundational coursework in business administration—such as management, finance, accounting, and marketing—with specialized study focused on the unique operational, ethical, and administrative challenges of the healthcare sector. Emphasizing Dordt’s commitment to seeing patients as image-bearers of God, the program equips students to lead healthcare facilities with a holistic, patient-centered approach.
