Students gain practical skills and hands-on experience in both global management and health care delivery. Due to the aging population of the U.S. and the world, many careers of the future will involve health care services, including health care management and delivery. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that careers in the field of medical and health care management will grow 20% between 2016 and 2026. The Bureau also estimates the median annual wage for health care managers is almost twice that of the U.S. median, making these leadership positions not only lucrative but impactful.
