Program Overview

Humber’s Bachelor of Commerce – Healthcare Management degree program gives you the optimal mix of core business and health-care specific skills to launch your career in one of Canada’s most exciting and fastest growing sectors.

In our program, you will begin by acquiring fundamental business skills in accounting and financial management, economics, law, operations management, organizational behaviour, statistics, and quantitative methods. Then, you will focus on developing health-care specific skills that are highly valued and sought by employers. Our health-care specialization courses include health informatics, heath data and analysis, health services organization and management, health-care financial management, population health, and policy and evaluation.

This program was designed in consultation with practising industry leaders to ensure that you will learn and practise the skills you need to succeed in today’s complex health-care environment. While in the program, you will also gain valuable experience through project work that is directly connected to industry, professional work experience, and a curriculum that focuses on real world and contemporary issues in health-care management. The program ends with a capstone project in the final semester. Students work to solve a specific health-care management problem in this project.

When you finish the program, you will be well prepared and qualified for entry-level positions in health-care management in several sectors including government, hospitals, agencies, private sector providers and consulting.

Your Career

According to the Conference Board of Canada, the health-care sector, consisting of health-care organizations; health education and research; health and life sciences industries (including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, medical informatics); and government employs many thousands of people in Ontario. It is a major factor in the productivity and the growth and strength of the economy. In Ontario, for example, over 40 per cent of total program spending by the provincial government has been allocated to health and long-term care since the 2018 Ontario Budget plan and the upward trend has continued since.

Graduates of our program may expect employment prospects for work within a variety of settings. Opportunities can be found in hospitals, medical offices, community care organizations, public health, benefits administration and insurance, health-care consulting firms, professional services firms, professional associations, think tanks, and government. Graduates of the program will be well-positioned to respond to the needs of the sector with strong academic and applied knowledge in the principles of business and their application to the unique issues and demands of the health sector. While the majority of jobs are in operations, graduates will also be prepared to work in analytical jobs in the areas of consulting and health policy, as well as business development and advocacy.
