Health Management, B.S.
Saint Louis University's B.S. in health management is offered through the College for Public Health and Social Justice, which is accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health. Health management is a major for SLU students interested in business, health care, and community health and wellness.
Health care delivery is highly complex, and there is a need for trained individuals who can recommend, implement, operate and evaluate changes to the system. Decisions made by health care executives help improve the lives of millions of people every day.
A degree in health management from SLU educates students about the business side of public health and health care, built upon a foundation in Jesuit-based liberal arts, business and public policy.
Health systems knowledge. SLU's health management degree provides unique insight into the evolving priorities of the health industry, from individualized treatment to integrated preventative care.
Health care impact. Health management majors gain knowledge and skills vital to understanding the health care system's role in implementing policies and processes that impact the complex challenges facing the health of communities.
Employment outlook. A health management degree empowers students to pursue multiple career options and graduate degree paths, which can open doors to executive-level careers.
Pre-medical students. Pre-med students benefit greatly from a health management degree as they understand the organizational systems in which they work.
Medallion Program. Designed for first-year students in all College for Public Health and Social Justice majors, this program connects first-year students with each other, their major, and the college through social, academic enhancement, professional development events, and faculty mentoring.
