Health Care Administration

One of Alma’s newest programs, debuting in 2011, Health Care Administration is designed to prepare students for entry-level and mid-level positions in the business and administration side of the health professions, including hospitals, nursing homes, physician practices, home care organizations, pharmaceutical firms and other related organizations.

With Alma's 13:1 student-to-faculty ratio, students receive a great deal of one-on-one faculty attention.

It features courses in financial and managerial accounting, economics, health care finance and management, and strategic planning in health care as well as hands-on internship opportunities locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

Students will complete a senior capstone project that includes active involvement in researching and solving real-world problems related to health care administration. Off-campus experiences will include placements at local health care facilities.

Alma College is seeking program accreditation with the Association of University Programs in Health Administration.

Distinguishing landmarks on Alma’s campus include the Posey Bench near the Hood Building, the Bishop Makarios Memorial Sculpture, the “Momentum” sculpture near the entrance to the Hogan Center, the Spirit Rock behind the Library, the Bahlke Field Gate, the Peace Poles in McIntyre Mall, and the Redman Gate along Superior Street that welcomes campus visitors....

Dr. Dale Sanders
Departments: Business Administration

Dr. Dale Sanders always knew he wanted to be in the medical field, but he wasn’t positive what his niche was until he got involved with the Student National Medical Association (SNMA).

“Being involved with SNMA has given me a clearer vision of the things we need to do while training physicians,” says Sanders. “We really need to instill values in our students that reflect the notion that health care is for the people.”
