6. Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration
In this program, we hold the following to be an unequivocal truth: we’re all created by God. That’s your role as a healthcare administrator/manager. To help uphold the dignity of each of your patients while providing the highest level of quality care. It will also teach you how to be an effective healthcare administrator/manager, how to evaluate research results applicable to a healthcare practice, and how to demonstrate effective communication – in writing and presentations.

Consider a graduate certificate in interprofessional informatics to round out your business, education, or health care professional degree.

This program is meant for students who were very high achieving in Spanish and are coming into a Concordia Health Professions program. It is a 15-credit, interdisciplinary program and includes a short-term study abroad program. Students will take our Span 301 course when they begin here. From there, everything they take will be in Spanish but geared towards the healthcare professions.

In our innovative Master of Product Development (MPD), students learn by doing, and engaging with local experts in varying industries who design and teach our courses.
