Program Mission
The Health Administration Program provides graduates with the competencies and skills
to become effective administrators for goal-oriented achievements in health delivery

self-actualization of clients and citizens.
For acceptance into the Health Administration Program, students must arrange appointments
with a faculty advisor prior to placing applications. Once initial advisement is completed,
students may proceed with the school's admission procedures.
