Health care needs leaders who understand both people and systems. In the online Health Care Management B.S., you learn how hospitals, clinics, aging services, and public health organizations actually run so you can help improve care where you live and work.
This long-standing program has prepared health care managers for more than four decades and is certified by the Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA), a mark of academic quality in health care management education. You study topics such as health care foundations, organization and management, jurisprudence, global health, aging services, and leadership while applying them to real issues in today's health systems.
Because the program is fully online, you can keep working in your current role while you earn your degree. Small classes, internship opportunities, and advising from the Department of Health Professions help you connect what you learn to the next step in your health care career.
In MSU Denver’s Health Care Management program, you learn from faculty who are deeply connected to the industry. They teach courses while also engaging in research, consulting, and community work that responds to real challenges in health care.
For example, Professor Amy Dore has taught health care management students for more than 18 years. Her courses and expertise focus on health disparities, human resources, practice management, research, leadership, and long term care and aging services. She has conducted research on aging, rural health, and diversity in health care and co-authored the textbook Cultural Learning in Healthcare: Recognizing and Navigating Difference.
Faculty like Professor Dore help you see how management decisions affect patients, caregivers, and communities, so you leave the program ready to lead with both data and compassion.
In the online Health Care Management B.S., you build a strong foundation in how health systems are organized, financed, and regulated. You explore how hospitals, clinics, insurers, public health agencies, and aging services work together and what it takes to deliver safe, high quality, and equitable care.
Your coursework may include subjects such as global health systems, health care foundations, jurisprudence, organization and management, quality improvement, human resources, health information systems, research methods, leadership, and health disparities.
Health care organizations need skilled managers in hospitals, clinics, aging services, and public health agencies. Here are a few examples of annual mean salaries for related roles in Colorado.

With an online Health Care Management degree, you can help improve care close to home. Graduates work in hospitals, community health centers, long term care and aging services, rural clinics, and public or nonprofit health agencies across Colorado and beyond.
Job titles can include department or practice manager, clinic or program coordinator, operations or quality improvement specialist, and roles in patient access, compliance, or population health. In smaller or rural communities, managers often wear many hats and have the chance to make a visible difference for neighbors and families.
Because the program blends management, policy, quality, and information systems, you are prepared for entry level and mid level leadership roles now and for future graduate study in health administration, business, or other health related fields if you choose to continue your education.
