Certificate in Health Services Administration

Program Description:
The Post-Graduate Certificate (PGC) Program in Health Services Administration equips students with essential, in-demand skills needed to excel in the healthcare industry across government, nonprofit, and private sectors. As healthcare organizations grow in complexity, this program provides students with the knowledge and leadership abilities needed to navigate regulatory demands, operational challenges, and patient care priorities in today’s healthcare landscape.
The Post-Graduate Certificate Program in Health Services Administration can be used as a pathway toward CSUSB’s Master of Science in Health Services Administration (MSHSA) program. Students who successfully complete their PGC program can apply their sixteen (16) PGC credits MSHSA program. However, PGC graduates are not automatically admitted to the MSHSA program; they must apply separately to the program and meet its academic and other requirements.
