Online Health Administration Degree Program Overview

This 100% online college degree program will help you develop a strong knowledge base in health administration, including health systems, ethics, finance, and health policy. The EdActive™ Learning Approach ensures you’ll be ready to apply your knowledge and skills in the real world after you graduate or will prepare you to pursue graduate studies in health administration.

The Bachelor of Science in Health Administration (BSHA) program prepares graduates for entry and midlevel functional positions in health care administration, or to pursue graduate education in the field. Our mission is to produce highly competent, ethical, caring health administration professionals who can both manage and effect change for the better in organizations and systems. We do this with an evidence based, online teaching model, and a student-centered learning environment in which undergraduates can expand their knowledge and skills.

Students will develop their understanding of research, evaluation, and the data upon which health care managers base their decisions. Students will develop analytical and problem-solving skills required of such professionals. They will enhance awareness of legal and ethical issues in the health field and will learn to recognize and appreciate the economic, political, and social environment in which health care functions.

See the Trident University Catalog for full descriptions of all program course offerings or contact Trident today to learn more.

  • Demonstrate an appreciation of diversity in health-related administrative practice.
  • Apply foundational ethical, legal, and regulatory principles to health-related decision making and problem solving.
This program is not designed to meet the educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification that is required for employment in an occupation. As such, Trident has made no determination regarding prerequisites for licensure or certification in any state or jurisdiction.

My research is focused on health communication and in particular I do research in consulting with the National Hemophilia Foundation. It’s been very rewarding working with these young women and really being able to help change their lives and improve their quality of life.Dr. Patricia Rhynders, Associate Dean


Courses
Your courses at Trident will prepare you to address the challenges of access, quality, and cost in a dynamic healthcare environment. As a Bachelor of Science in Health Administration (BSHA) student, you will take a variety of classes, including Legal and Ethical Aspects of Healthcare, Health Care Finance, Management of Health Programs, Quality Assurance, and many others.

The BSHA requires 120 credits for degree completion. See the Trident Catalog for all requirements and full descriptions of all course offerings.

By selecting the dual credit option you can have three of your upper division courses applied towards an MSHA degree from Trident.
