Anderson University

What you'll study

Students gain familiarity with industry terminology and language, learn research processes that can support preparation for graduate study, and receive foundational training relevant to healthcare administration tasks (for example, personnel workspace issues, benefits, sick leave, and institutional policies). The program structure follows a fast-track model where students typically take two courses every seven weeks (up to four courses with the Fast Track option) and the program is paced at 36 hours per year as listed by the institution.

Entry requirements

No previous degree is required to enroll. Application materials depend on transfer credit:

• If you transfer more than 24 credit hours: submit official transcripts from 2- and 4-year institutions.
• If you transfer fewer than 24 credit hours: submit official 2- and 4-year transcripts plus official high school or GED transcripts.

The application deadline is two weeks before the term start date. Program contact and application are handled through Anderson University admissions.

Career prospects

Graduates are positioned for entry-level roles across healthcare settings, including hospitals, medical practices, long-term care facilities, health clinics and nonprofit organizations. The program notes that job placement and internship opportunities are not guaranteed and that employment and salary outcomes depend on location, career path, and individual qualifications.

Scholarships & funding angle

The program is described as transfer-friendly and cost-effective; Anderson University’s FLEX model lets students add an extra course for free if they finish a course early, which can reduce time-to-degree and overall cost. Standard university financial aid, tuition assistance programs, and scholarship options are administered through Anderson University (specific awards and eligibility are not detailed on the program page).
