Impact a growing field with a bachelor’s in healthcare administration
It’s a fact: The population of older Americans is growing. A recent report from the Population Reference Bureau says that the number of U.S. adults age 65+ will double to more than 98 million by 2060. What does that mean for you? Plenty -- if you’re looking for a career in the explosive-growth industry of healthcare. Healthcare jobs are increasing far faster than the national average, and the need for healthcare management professions is just as great.

Bachelor's in Healthcare Administration Degree Overview
Better the well-being of others in this fast-growing field
At its core, healthcare is about taking care of people, from interacting directly with patients to working behind the scenes to improve the processes and policies that contribute to the overall patient experience. New technologies, breakthrough treatments and government regulations have all dramatically changed the way we care for people.
Whether you have little to no healthcare education or experience, or you're a healthcare professional looking for an edge, our transfer-friendly Bachelor of Science in healthcare administration bachelor’s degree program.
Earn the healthcare administration bachelor's degree that puts you on the fast-track to management
Healthcare administration careers are projected to grow at the above-average rate of 14% by 2032*. Our online bachelor's degree in healthcare administration will equip you to take on management roles in a variety of healthcare settings, including acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities, physician practices, ambulatory centers, government and nonprofit healthcare associations, insurance, pharmaceutical companies and consulting firms.
To prepare you for management in this fast-growing industry, you’ll gain the pivotal skills employers are looking for in the areas of healthcare leadership, healthcare quality management, healthcare informatics, community and healthcare systems. And because you can further enrich the program by choosing electives in your areas of interest, you’ll receive a highly relevant education in your chosen career path.
Keep up with trends in healthcare reform while you learn
Throughout your bachelor’s in healthcare administration courses, you’ll acquire up-to-date knowledge that’s applicable now (and later) to an evolving industry. Our curriculum incorporates a thorough understanding of healthcare reform initiatives, including changes in healthcare delivery systems, future of healthcare financing, and legislative healthcare policy proposals.
Tailor your program based on your experience and get credit for what you know
The bachelor's in healthcare administration program is designed to help you enter or advance within the healthcare field. If you are certified, licensed, registered, or have completed an associate degree in healthcare or an approved related discipline, you could receive credit for what you already know.
Have licensures, certifications or on-the-job training? Choose the technical pathway designed for students bringing in at least 10 hours of transferable patient care credits.
If you have previously earned college credit that’s not related to patient care, the non-technical path is for you. By choosing this option, you’ll take advantage of Franklin’s generous transfer policy by transferring in up to 94 credit hours, which can be used to satisfy general education and elective coursework.
Get hands-on experience and learn from working healthcare professionals
At Franklin, you’re taught by experienced healthcare practitioners so you’ll directly benefit from relevant, up-to-date industry knowledge and experience.
To further prepare you to put your skills immediately into practice and make yourself more marketable to employers, Franklin’s online bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration also features a practical curriculum with hands-on assignments that include case studies, simulations, and application of quality and performance measurement tools.
You’ll participate in field assignments, too, conducting interviews or visiting hospitals, medical offices, or other healthcare organizations, exposing you to actual healthcare management situations while expanding your professional networking opportunities and building important stepping stones for your future.
