Behind the front lines of doctors, nurses and other care providers lies a vast healthcare network. From local clinics to hospitals to national care consortia, organizations in the multi-trillion-dollar healthcare industry are in constant need of new management and administrative talent.
As a healthcare administration major at St. Norbert College, you’ll acquire the knowledge and skills you need to succeed within the modern healthcare workforce, focusing on project-based learning, data-driven decision-making and operational excellence. In addition to general management principles in areas like finance, marketing and human resource management, you’ll also gain knowledge of health-specific topics related to systems, law, ethics, data and more.
You can major in healthcare administration at St. Norbert College and earn a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. This is a rapidly growing field with management jobs across all different levels and sectors.
Healthcare administration is one of the majors at SNC that offers hybrid learning through our partnership with Rize. Core courses in the major are taught by SNC faculty on the SNC campus. Some specialized courses are taught online by faculty from Rize-partner colleges and universities. Rize courses are offered asynchronously (recorded) to accommodate students’ class schedules.
A highlight of your healthcare administration major is a strategy capstone that asks you to synthesize your knowledge and skills to plan a strategic transformation of a simulated healthcare system (a hospital network, for example). This project strengthens your problem-solving skills and helps you build a portfolio of work you can present to future employers.
You can also enhance your classroom experience with an internship at one of the many large healthcare networks and facilities in the area, several of which have strong partnerships with the college.
Finally, as you work toward a healthcare administration degree, you’ll share our campus with the Medical College of Wisconsin, which prepares many of the physicians who will work alongside you in delivering vital services.
“ I think any other college or institution, it’s hard enough to get a regular undergraduate degree in four years, let alone like two and a half undergraduate degrees almost. Coming to St. Norbert allowed me to actually find what my vocation was beyond just in the classroom.

“ Upon reflecting on my time at SNC, I realize how very important being a well-rounded, community-minded human being is, in addition to being a good student. SNC helped me prepare a solid educational foundation for future success, but above all, SNC instilled and reinforced good values to practice in life.
