This
program is designed to accommodate the needs of transfer and
nontraditional students. For admissions requirements and academic
policies, please visit the professional schools site http://ucc.rutgers.edu/professional-schools (opens in a PDF format) and click on Academic
Policies.
The health administration major prepares students for entry-level positions leading to an administrative career path in the health care sector. Students learn to address administrative and management problems in long-term and acute care venues, deal with third-party payer and employment situations, and employ microeconomic theory to justify management decisions. They learn the regulations related to union, human resources, and institutional management practices, as well as the policy and ethical contexts in which administrative decisions are made. The major leads to the bachelor of science (B.S.) degree awarded by the Edward J.Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.
Students seeking the health administration major must have at
least 30 credits before applying to the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning
and Public Policy. Successful applicants will have completed the prerequisite
courses with a grade of C or better, and have achieved an overall grade-point average of at least 2.7. Rutgers students seeking a school-to-school transfer apply here. Non-Rutgers students apply here. Contact undergrad@ejb.rutgers.edu for more information.
Only courses with C or better may be counted
toward major requirements. Upon
completing the major, all general education requirements, and 120 credits in
good academic standing, the student will receive the bachelor of science (B.S.)
degree from the Bloustein School.
There is no minor course of study for health administration. Students interested in a related minor course of study are
referred to the Public Health Management Certificate within the public health
major.
