Make Healthcare Your Business
Perhaps you’re a healthcare professional looking to boost your career but not quite ready to begin Ball State’s nationally ranked MBA. The Ball State MBA offers a 12-credit graduate certificate in healthcare administration.
The graduate certificate is an added credential that keeps you current professionally and shows your employer that you’re serious about adding to your administrative skills. In addition to developing a comprehensive understanding of state-of-the-art business practices, you’ll learn to apply business knowledge to the healthcare field.
You can take some of the same courses offered through the concentration in healthcare administration and apply your 12 credits to the MBA degree.

Here at Ball State, you don’t have to sacrifice quality to pursue a graduate certificate online. As a virtual learner, you’ll access the same quality coursework, discussions, and distinguished faculty as on-campus students.
