Healthcare professionals who wish to enhance their qualifications and strive for managerial positions may wish to consider enrolling in online degree programs, such as those offered by Independence University.

The online college has announced it will offer an MBA in healthcare administration to help professionals in the field prepare for managerial positions.

Advanced business and healthcare concepts will be integrated into the curriculum, which will include classes on management, accounting, economics, information systems and policy analysis.

Students in this degree program will learn to apply business methods to problems that typically arise in the healthcare sector.

Individuals who wish to pursue this certification are required to hold a bachelors degree from an accredited institution and have least one year of experience in a healthcare-related field.

University officials said they created the degree program to address a growing demand for healthcare professionals that is expected to increase as baby boomers age and live longer than previous generations.
