Nursing programs build caregivers, but for those who take an interest in the business of healthcare, there is the Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management program. Dr. Brian West explains the benefits of earning this degree.
My name is Bryan, and I'm the Program Director for the Bachelor of Science and Health Care Management Program at South University.
The Bachelor of Science program is designed to orient those interested in a career in Health Care Management to the information they would need to be successful in an entry level position in that career.
It's suited for people who have an interest in Health Care, but maybe not necessarily on the caregiving end of healthcare. The great thing about the program here at South, is that the students are engaged one-on-one with the professors, whether it be on ground or online, there's ample opportunity to get personal instruction in their degree requirements.
The curriculum involves a wide range of subjects required for success in Health Care Administration. That includes finance, economics, ethics and law, research methods, information technology. If you're interested in a degree in business, this program is great for you because you get exposure to all the training you need to be a successful business person. In addition, you have exposure to the unique business environment of healthcare.

*If a BS Healthcare Management student chooses to take an Anatomy and Physiology course, only BIO1011 and BIO1013 satisfy the Natural Sciences requirement. Students enrolling in either course must, however, also take the related co-requisite lab courses: BIO1012 and BIO1014 respectively. Students electing this option for their Natural Sciences requirement will complete up to 184 credit hours of work for their degree, depending on their exact choice.
Transfer students may transfer any course to help fulfill the elective pool requirements, provided the course meets the standards of the Credit for Transcripted and Non-transcripted Work policy found in the Academic Affairs section of this catalog.
Non-transfer students, with their advisor's consultation and approval may choose courses from any department recommended and listed course or more broadly from any course offered by South University. Work from other fields must include any required prerequisite courses in the elective field.
A course can be used to meet only one requirement in Area I, Area II, or Area III, but not simultaneously in two areas. Students should work with their academic advisor or counselor to be sure they are making appropriate course choices.
