Health Care Administration and Management

Salve Regina’s graduate program in health care administration and management helps professionals with either a clinical or business background develop the management and leadership skills needed for success in the ever-changing field of health care.

Accredited by the International Assembly of Collegiate Business Education, our program prepares students for the challenges of balancing fiscal responsibility with high-quality patient care and clinical outcomes.

To accomplish this, we take a comprehensive approach to instruction, blending management theory with the practical experiences of our faculty, all of whom are respected health care professionals. And, we work closely with students to tailor the curriculum to meet both their personal and career goals.

In addition, small class sizes and valuable internship placements provide students with key networking opportunities that further enhance their learning experience. Both in and out of the classroom, they connect with other professionals from an array of health care settings, including hospitals, nursing homes and regulatory agencies.

With courses available at our Newport campus, our Center for Adult Education in Warwick and online, our program offers students the flexibility to design their educational plan around their professional and personal lives.
