Bachillerato en Administración de la Salud

The Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration is a complete program designed to help those who have a background in the Allied Health field get ahead with a Bachelor of Science degree. The program is geared toward health care professionals seeking entry-level management roles in various healthcare settings.

The problem for many is that most organizations now require a Bachelor’s degree in management personnel (which can take four years to complete). The good news is that Pacific College may accept up to 60 transfer credits from an accredited Allied Health training program. Take your existing credits and transfer them into the B.S. in Healthcare Administration program to complete the program in as little as 18 months (full-time).

Additionally, the Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration program is offered 100% online and covers many aspects of the health care industry to provide you with the skills necessary to manage in the rapidly changing environment of health care effectively.

The Pacific College Bachelor of Science Degree in Healthcare Administration program provides knowledge of the healthcare system, technology, critical thinking skills, and integration of business practices with health sciences. The program incorporates both theory and practical classes in all aspects of the healthcare industry to provide the student with the managerial skills for positions in a range of healthcare organizations. Students may transfer credits from prior post-secondary technical education to satisfy the lower-division technical and general education requirements. Students may receive up to 45-semester units of credit for previous college courses in a health care discipline.
