If you care about health, serving those in need and educating the public on wellness initiatives, consider working toward an online Healthcare Management degree from Lancaster Bible College. In this program, you’ll learn about the many facets of healthcare and prepare for a career as a healthcare executive. So, what exactly can you do with a bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Management? As a future healthcare administrator, you’ll be responsible for planning, directing and coordinating medical services in settings like hospitals, nursing homes and group medical practices.
This online bachelor’s degree is part of LBC’s online undergraduate program, which is designed for busy people as they balance working full time, family responsibilities, serving in ministry and more. Each course is taught in an 8-week subterm. Refer to the catalog link below for the engaging courses that are part of this bachelor’s degree program. Students can customize the sequence of their classes based on which courses are being offered and their prerequisites.

Each student’s path to degree completion is unique, depending on the courses you transfer into the program. The curriculum plan gives a broad picture of the required credits. If your transfer credits come from mostly one of those areas, you will need to take credits in other areas. The remaining courses you need for graduation can best be determined after reviewing your transcripts. With flexible electives, Biblical Studies requirements and Arts & Sciences requirements, most students are able to transfer to LBC the maximum number of credits.
Credits for Prior Learning. Students can earn up to 30 Life Experience Credits, through the Credits for Prior Learning evaluation process, which will often reduce the time to complete a degree. The Life Experience Credit evaluation process is done after a student begins a program.
