New MBA with Concentration in Health Services
Clemson University is very pleased to announce a new graduate education option to serve the health care industry in the Upstate. Through a unique collaboration between the College of Business and Behavioral Science and the College of Health, Education, and Human Development, Clemson University’s MBA program will now offer a concentration in Health Services. The entire Masters of Business Administration with concentration in Health Services will be delivered in the evenings in Greenville at the University Center campus on South Pleasantburg Drive, with courses taught by Clemson’s leading business and public health faculty.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the health care industry is expected to generate more new jobs over the next 10 years than any other industry in the country. But, even as the aging population and innovative medical technologies continue to drive growth in health services, increased pressures to reduce costs, ensure quality, and provide innovative new services are forcing health care professionals to be more mindful of their management methods. Through our new MBA concentration in health services, we hope to focus the best of business knowledge and practice on the specific concerns and context of the health care industry. For health care professionals who want to learn more about the management of health care services and for those who want to reposition their careers in the fast growth health care sector, the Clemson University MBA with concentration in Health Services may be an important next step.
