The Health Science Administration (B.A.) degree is an multi-disciplinary program of student for medical and health services managers and office managers in health care fields, who plan, direct, coordinate, and/or facilitate the organization and support of medical and health services. Graduates of this program might assist in the management of facility or specialize in managing a specific clinical area or department or manage a medical practice for a group of physicians. As healthcare changes, medical and health services managers must be able to adapt to changes in laws, regulations, and technology.
It is our goal to provide students with a theoretical and practical understanding of human health and wellness as it relates to business administration. This degree takes an interdisciplinary and integrated learning approach, and explores business administration, regulation and financing, planning and policies. Job descriptions include aspects of finance, budgeting, billing, human resources management, facilities management, marketing, and quality measurement and improvement.

The study of science is born from the conviction of the fundamental intelligibility of the world. Science at Ave Maria University testifies to the Catholic Church’s confidence in human reason’s ability to know the truth about God’s creation even apart from the illuminating power of grace. The natural sciences are not simply technological disciplines, but are truly liberal arts education in which we seek to know truth for its own sake. By enabling us to enter the simultaneous complexity and simplicity of physical reality, science instills within the students a deep sense of wonder at the natural universe.
