Whether you see yourself working in a large hospital, a small clinic or somewhere in between, healthcare administration jobs abound for professionals with the right skills and credentials. Employment of medical and health services managers, for example, is expected to grow by 22 percent through 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. That’s much faster than the average for all occupations, due largely to an aging population that remains active later in life. Growth is not limited to traditional providers. As medical technologies improve, many services traditionally available in hospitals will shift to the offices of health practitioners, providing additional opportunities for those who can organize and manage medical information and staffs. Whatever your goals, New England College’s healthcare administration bachelor’s degree is a great way to prepare yourself for a rewarding healthcare career.
