The rapidly changing health care industry is the nation's second largest employer and the demand for qualified managers in health care and health product organizations is increasing. The Health Care Management major focuses on the management, financing, and economics of the health services sector, preparing students for careers in health care management or policy, clinical medicine, pharmaceutical services, nursing, or dentistry.
In response to the high demand for skilled managers and policy makers, the Health Care Management major builds upon the established strength of the academic departments and existing courses in the Labovitz School of Business and Economics and provides, in addition, a series of courses that familiarize the student with unique aspects and issues of the health care industry. An interdisciplinary faculty based in the Labovitz School of Business and Economics, together with adjunct faculty from area health organizations, prepare students majoring in health care management to respond to the many critical problems now faced by hospitals, government agencies, group practices, pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms, insurance and managed care organizations, and consulting firms. The health care management major also provides the fundamental education and experience necessary for students interested in obtaining a graduate degree in health administration.
Students will gain a solid foundation of knowledge regarding the health care industry along with practical skills to apply that knowledge. The health care management major integrates academic and professional development through collaborative research and consulting projects among students, faculty, and the health care community, an internship program, and presentations from professionals employed in the health care industry.
The health care management major includes study in the following: managed care, market structure, and health care delivery; health care management; economics of health care; health policy analysis; health care marketing; financial management of health institutions; legal aspects of health care; comparative health care systems; management and economic issues of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry; and health care entrepreneurship.
The Health Care Management major will be accepting students and offering courses in the fall of 2005. You can learn more about degree requirements and course descriptions for the health care management major by visiting the Labovitz School of Business and Economics online at www.d.umn.edu/sbe/ and the UMD Catalog online at www.d.umn.edu/catalogs/. Or, contact Dr. Jennifer Schultz (phone: 218-726-6695, e-mail: jschultz@d.umn.edu) for more information. The LSBE Student Affairs Office, located in SBE 21, will have applications for the major and information on requirements for this major and the degree program.
