Health administration is concerned with the planning, organization, financing, delivery, and evaluation of public and personal health services.  The health services administration concentration prepares students for careers in health services delivery organizations such as hospitals, clinics, managed care organizations, long term care facilities, and medical offices.  Graduates may also enter careers in governmental health care as local and state departments of health, the U.S. Public Health Service, and international health organizations.  Management and staff opportunities for the trained baccalaureate include consulting firms, durable medical equipment, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare information systems vendors.
