Healthcare Administration Certificate

The Certificate in Healthcare Administration has been in the works at LRC for over two years and was created in response to information we gathered in a number of focus groups in the healthcare field.  We learned that there is a need in the medical community to provide leadership training and useable information for practice administrators, hospital personnel and other healthcare-affiliated employees.  Here are a few additional points of interest for you:  

* The program is designed to be a “stand alone” certificate program or a “bridge” to a higher degree.  The program is 12 credit hours, of which 9 may be used for credit towards a higher degree (provided a student meets the admissions criteria of that particular program).  

*The Certificate courses are as follows: 

*Each course will begin with a review of “foundational information” so that all students will gain a basic understanding of the language, terms and practices.  

*The program started in Fall 2006 and is expected to run while demanded. 

*Direct billing to a third party (hospitals, clinics or physician offices) is available.  

*The certificate program costs $325.00 per credit hour.
