How far can you go with a degree in Health Care Management/Administration?

My husband is transferring his GI Bill to me and now Im trying to decide what to do with it. I want to go into health care so Ill always have options where my husband has to go. I have been talking to an advisor at University of Phoenix and shes been telling me about their online program. How is their online program? How far can you go with this degree with a 2yr, 4yr, Masters or Higher? The GI Bill will cover my Bachelors but my Masters will be out of pocket unless I can find a Scholarship available. Basically what Im trying to figure out is how far I can go with a Masters Degree in Healthcare Management/Administration. What can you do with this once achieved, and what can you do for employment/experience while youre working on your degree? Thanks

Hi Sahara,

You may want to consider a not for-profit school. It could save you a lot of money! As far as career options, you will definitely need experience. The degree will always help, but employers almost always value experience over education. The good thing about an online program is that it can be flexible enough to allow you time to work.

There are definitely Master’s programs out there in this field, so that will not be a problem. I bet there are even Phd programs out there in this field.

Here is an important question to ask: Does this school require group work? This can make your life very stressful! Especially online group work where your 3 group members are in different time zones with different schedules. I have nightmare stories from trying to deal with this!

I personally like Iowa Central Community College. www.iowacentralonline.com This program is a lot cheaper than UoP and can be transferred into a 4 year program later.
