High Demand. High Opportunity.

Employment of medical and health services managers is projected to grow 20 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. As the large baby-boom population ages and people remain active later in life, there should be increased demand for healthcare services.

Outcomes

Graduates will be able to explore management-oriented careers in a wide range of healthcare-related organizations. Graduates will also have the potential to oversee an assortment of essential activities including financial matters, legal compliance, human resources functions and public relations.

Career Opportunities

  • Healthcare administrator
  • Public health administrator
  • Elderly care administrator

I always wanted to get my MBA, and with the MBA in Health Services Administration, it combines two of my passions — business and healthcare.

I have grown both personally and professionally through the duration of this program. The coursework has been challenging but manageable, and is easily tailored to fit your industry focus.

This essay should detail your reasoning for applying to SUNY Oswego and it will help the review team better understand your background and evaluate your application.
