Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) - Healthcare Management (HM411)

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

In Humber's program, students will begin by acquiring fundamental business skills in accounting and financial management, economics, law, operations management, organizational behaviour, statistics and quantitative methods. Then, students will focus on developing health-care specific skills that are highly valued and sought by employers. Humber's 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.

The program was designed in consultation with practising industry leaders to ensure that students learn and practise the skills they need to succeed in today’s complex health-care environment. While in the program, students 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.

When students finish the program, they 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.

Students are also required to complete 14 weeks/420 hours of paid work in the summer between the sixth and seventh semesters. This gives them the hands-on, real-world experience that employers value. Students' placement will give them the opportunity to explore the field they like to work in when they graduate. The department will work with employers and their industry partners to help students identify opportunities to pursue.
