Students in the graduate program are likely to find many career paths in the field of health care administration. On-campus students usually enter graduate study with little experience in the health care field. They are often unfamiliar with the many different career paths and initial opportunities available to health care administrators. Along with the conceptual knowledge, health care administrators need strong leadership skills and an ability to work with a variety of people. A sampling of job titles for recent on-campus graduates include: Director of Emergency Services for a large hospital serving indigent patients; Health Analyst for a managed care company; Assistant Administrator of Operations for a medical center; Director of Financial Operations for Clinical Affairs for a medical school; Health Care Consultant for an international accounting firm; Director of Radiology and Cardiology for a children's medical center; and Director of Strategic Development for a health care system.

Typically students in the Executive Program have specific goals for obtaining a graduate degree. Some Executive Program students have clinical training and want to increase and apply their business knowledge while others have administrative backgrounds and feel a graduate degree will enhance their advancement. Whatever one's personal goals may be, health care administrators today face tough financial and competitive environments. Trinity University's Executive Program is tailored to meet these challenges for experienced health care professionals.
