What You Will Learn in the Healthcare Management Program
The Healthcare Management major was redesigned in 2018 to reflect the dynamism of the health services industry. It was renamed "Health Services Management and Leadership" major. This expands the focus of the major to aspects of the health industry beyond direct health care. Compliance with the Rollins mission is assessed using the following learning outcomes: financial literacy, ethical reasoning, critical thinking and team work.

Health is a global social issue. Lack of access to quality health care is a worldwide social injustice. In this major you will have the opportunity to analyze international health data sets and compare different health systems globally from both a legal and ethical perspective.
Responsible Leadership
You will study the skills necessary to ensure the financial solvency of healthcare companies, a key to responsible leadership. You will learn about the importance of ethical behavior, critical to achieving all of the components of the College mission including responsible leadership. You will also process information to make informed decisions, central to thinking critically and leading responsibly.
Productive Careers
Health services is about providing quality services in a team work context. You will have the opportunity to perform internships at health services facilities to facilitate your understanding of the health system.
