As the healthcare industry continues to undergo major changes in structure and financing, skilled health services administrators will be needed to improve, direct and coordinate cost-effective and quality healthcare delivery systems. They will be expected to integrate in-depth knowledge of the complex regulatory environment with organizational management and technology expertise.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that employment for health and human services administrators will rise by 16% by 2018. Demand will be strongest in hospitals, private medical offices and healthcare management companies.

You can prepare for these opportunities through the new, 126-credit Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Services at St. John’s University. Offered by the College of Professional Studies, the program is designed to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to assume entry-level managerial positions in the industry.

Committed to serving student needs, registered nurses seeking admission to the program are granted a maximum of 60 credits toward earning a Bachelor of Science degree.

Reflecting the University’s Vincentian and Catholic values, the program places emphasis on providing quality, cost-effective healthcare for marginalized populations including the elderly, the poor and the mentally ill. Benefiting from St. John’s metropolitan commitment, Healthcare Informatics majors have access to invaluable health services and human services internship opportunities at leading New York-area hospitals and other medical providers.
