Health Administration Program
The Health Services Administration Program (HADM) at Auburn University prepares students for leadership positions in one of the nation's largest and fastest growing sectors, health care.
Health care systems of the future will focus on improving the lives of others through greater efficiency and superior quality, health care information technology, cutting-edge research, improved organization, and strong management. The Health Services Administration program prepares tomorrow's health care leaders to guide these systems and shape health care policy in an ever-increasingly complex and dynamic environment.
Auburn's HADM program is the first AUPHA accredited undergraduate program in the state of Alabama and has been training health care leaders for more than thirty years. It has over 2,000 alumni in thirty different states and is one of a handful of health administration programs in the country to offer national and international internships for undergraduate students at some of the world's leading health care institutions.
