Health Services Administration Graduate Certificates
The evening and Saturday graduate certificate programs in Health Services Administration provide you with a number of options and alternatives and serve a variety of needs. Graduate Certificates of Achievement may serve as shorter, more focused alternatives to graduate degrees, new skills, or updates of specialization for those with advanced degrees. They may also meet short-term goals of those working professionals who will later seek a master's degree. The credits completed in fulfillment of the requirements for HSA Certificates will be applicable towards the MS/HSA Degree at Barry University.
