Top Security Agency Approves Information Systems Security Program

Master of Health Services Administration

As a part of Strayer University's Masters Degree Programs, the Master of Health Services Administration program is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to become a leader in a health services organization. You will gain deeper knowledge of health care trends, technologies, policies and practices, and ethics. You’ll discover how to apply business tools specific to health services such as how to implement strategy and change, allocate human resources, execute marketing and public relations plans, and use technology to advance operations and control costs.

Master's in Health Services Administration program graduates will learn to develop health services administration strategies and policies that deliver the desired business results across all levels and functions of an healthcare organization. These management roles often fall within health services environments such as health services organizations, healthcare management firms, hospitals, clinics, medical groups, long-term healthcare facilities, health insurers, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or medical supply companies, and government or public health organizations.
