Rutgers Among Top Universities Offering Health Administration Bachelor’s Degree

In late July, Becker’s Healthcare and Hospital Review compiled a list of the top-ranked U.S. universities offering a bachelor’s degree in health administration. With healthcare leaders exiting the industry at record rates, Becker’s notes that a degree in health administration from a top university can aid in one’s advancement in hospital operation leadership.

Becker’s is one of the leading sources for healthcare decision-makers in the industry. Through their platforms, they equip healthcare leaders with information and forums needed for continuing education, exchanging ideas, and furthering conversations about the most critical issues in American healthcare.
