UT offers both a 4-year program and a 2+2 year program in health care administration. Students can enroll in the 4-year program in their freshman year. Upon completion of the 4-year program, the student earns the bachelor of science degree in health care administration and a general minor in business. Students who enroll in the 2+2 year program must have an associate’s degree in a health related field. Students who select this program are often already gainfully employed in the health-care field (nurses, respiratory therapists, etc.). Upon completion of the program, the 2+2 year program student receives the bachelor of science degree in health care administration.

The health-care field is a growing and expanding profession. It is likely that there will continue to be a demand and promising career opportunities for knowledgeable, skilled professionals in a variety of health-care settings. Graduates prepare themselves for administrative positions in hospitals, long-term care and outpatient facilities, physician offices, mental health organizations, health insurance companies and other types of health organizations.
