Austin College's Health Care Administration program gives students an understanding of how health care organizations are managed and administered and how policies and ethics in health care organizations make a real difference in peoples' lives and health. We emphasize that students get real-world experience by having internships, study abroad experiences, and volunteer opportunities, ranging from the North Texas area to other parts of the state and nation and abroad. The program's goals include preparing students for graduate and professional schools and the job market in this high-demand field.

The Health Care Administration major is designed to prepare students in leadership, management, and administration to health and health care organizations. The program consists of courses that provide students with a background in the business and management side of health care and the policies, complexities, and ethics concerning human needs in the modern health care world. It also trains students in the critical thinking skills necessary in the ever-changing and rapidly growing health care industry. Further, it encourages students to gain real-world experiences, such as internships, volunteer work, or other experiential activities through the many private and public health care institutions within the North Texas area and beyond.

Austin College is a private, residential, co-educational college dedicated to educating undergraduate students in the liberal arts and sciences. Also offered are select pre-professional programs and a graduate teacher education program. Austin College continues its relationship with the church. It is committed to a heritage that values personal growth, justice, community, and service. An Austin College education emphasizes academic excellence, intellectual and personal integrity, and participation in community life. Thus, Austin College affirms the importance of a community that, through its size, diversity, and programs fosters lively intellectual and social interaction among persons of different origins, experiences, beliefs, accomplishments, and goals; a program that does not discriminate with regard to religion or creed, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin, physical disability, age, or economic status; a faculty that acknowledges teaching, sustained by an active commitment to professional growth and development, as its primary responsibility; a student body of committed learners, actively involved in the programs of the college and service to the greater community; a climate of civility and respect that encourages free inquiry and the open expression of ideas; a non-sectarian education that fosters the exploration and development of values through an awareness of the world’s religious, philosophical, and cultural traditions.

The mission of Austin College is to educate students in the liberal arts and sciences to prepare them for rewarding careers and for full, engaged, and meaningful lives.
