Management: Health Care Management

The health care industry is both complex and ever-changing. Emmanuel's location at the intersection of leading health care providers in the Longwood Medical Area and the business mecca of Boston’s financial district puts you in the center of it all. Our interdisciplinary program is a natural fit for students with a passion for health care and the analytical skills necessary for business management today. Graduate prepared for an in-demand role as a profession who understands changes in health care laws, regulations and technology and who is responsible for overseeing operations including human resources, finance and marketing within the health care system.
