Master of Science - Health Care Administration

The Department of Public Policy and Administration at California State University, Bakersfield will foster and enhance critical thinking, communication, management, a public service perspective, and engagement in the policy process among present and future managers in government, nonprofit, and health care organizations within the San Joaquin Valley. The critical skills learned from this curriculum will ensure that managers in the government, nonprofit, and health care sectors exercise governance in an inclusive and socially responsible manner.

The purpose of the Master of Science in Health Care Administration Program (MSHCA) is to prepare evidence-based, reflective practitioners for management and administration in health care organizations–local and global interprofessional environments that promote health for individuals and populations.
