The health care field is a growth industry that is becoming global in terms of its scope. It is one of the largest industries in the United States. 2.5 trillion dollars were spent in 2010, which is approximately 17% of GDP. Health care reforms, including the Affordable Care Act, have changed the rules on health care delivery in the future. The business side of the health care system is just as important as the clinical side in  ensuring patients receive the best possible care. Through the health care management major, you will learn more about the infrastructure, finances and operations of health care systems and what it takes to keep them running smoothly.
