Health Care Management
Wharton's Health Care Management Department brings particular strengths in health economics and health management.
The health care industry, now the nation's second-largest employer, has had an increasingly important impact on the United States economy. Public concern about the management and delivery of health care services is near the top of the national agenda, and the factors and policies influencing health care systems in the U.S. and around the world are a natural subject for Wharton researchers. New pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and other developments continually create new opportunities and new managerial challenges.
Disciplines such as law, policy, ethics, and decision analysis are represented by the department's secondary appointments and by faculty who work at the University of Pennsylvania's schools of medicine and nursing. Adjunct faculty members are also drawn from health industry experts in the Philadelphia area.
Academic Programs
The Health Care Management Department offers concentrations in business and public policy at three levels:
These programs offer education and training in economics, management, and policy related to the health care industry in the U.S. and abroad. An undergraduate coordinated dual-degree program with the School of Nursing, a University Minor in Biological Behavior and Health Services Management, and a University Minor in Nursing and Health Services Management are offered.
