About Healthcare Management

Healthcare doesn't run itself — and the people who keep it running are in high demand. SUNY Cortland's healthcare management degree, one of the first of its kind in the SUNY system, brings together the College's strengths in business economics and public health to prepare you for the business side of one of the fastest-growing sectors in the country. You'll graduate, ready for roles in finance, human resources, and operations across hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and large healthcare systems. 

Career Potential

  • Healthcare administrator
  • Human resources representative
  • Medical practice manager
  • Healthcare financial analyst
  • Health informatics professionals 

What Will I Learn?

Your coursework covers the full landscape of healthcare management, from human resource management and health economics to leadership, ethics, and organizational administration. You'll also develop technical fluency in health informatics and communication, and build operational expertise in supply chain management, epidemiology, and biostatistics — giving you the business and public health foundation that today's healthcare employers are looking for.
