Departmental & Inter-Departmental Programs

Joint Program in Anthropology
and Health Services Administration

A unique feature of the program is that students must concurrently meet the requirements for a master's degree in anthropology as well as those of the health services administration curriculum. This dual orientation provides graduates with the breadth and depth needed to administer health care organizations in today's dynamic environment. The program prepares students for health administration, policy, and planning positions in public and private health care organizations such as hospitals, clinics, managed care organizations, insurance companies, quality improvement organizations, long-term care facilities, mental-health facilities, consulting firms, public health departments, and other government agencies.
