Business Management - Health Services Management Major
The Health Services Management Major integrates core management education with specialized training for health care environments. Students learn about health care systems, data management, operations and resource planning, preparing them to support effective care delivery. With applied coursework, co-op and practicum opportunities, students will gain the tools needed to manage hospitals, clinics, or public-health organizations.
Work term scheduling is noted in the Sequence of Academic and Work Terms for Co-op Program section(s).
The School offers an optional co-op program which provides graduates with up to 16 months of work experience integrated into their academic program.
The co-op option extends the program by one year. The School cannot guarantee work term jobs, but the Business Career Hub and the School will prospect for employers and make every effort to locate suitable positions, as well as be available to advise students on their search for program related jobs. The co-op program enables students to earn prevailing wages for the level of responsibility and contribution of the jobs they perform and thus finance at least part of their university education.
