Graduate Degree
Health care is a rapidly expanding industry. The population is aging and has an increased demand for health care services. Health care is a political issue as well, generating many proposals for solutions to the problems of the uninsured, the quality of care available and the role of employers, government and individuals in paying for health care. The industry needs people trained in managing health care to address these issues.
