Requirements for declaring the Health Systems Management Major:
Students who wish to declare the major must attend the CHHS Change of Major Orientation.
If you are unable to find the answer to your questions on the website or the FAQs, you should send those questions to HSMTProgram@uncc.edu.
The Bachelor of Science in Health Systems Management will prepare students as entry-level generalists in the health systems management field through interdisciplinary approaches guided by culturally relevant perspectives. Medical and health systems manager positions entail planning, directing, or coordinating medical and health services in hospitals, clinics, managed care organizations, non-profit agencies, or similar organizations. As the large baby-boom population ages and people remain active later in life, for example, the health and human services industry as a whole will see an increase in the demand for medical services including medical and health services managers. Medical and health services managers must be adaptable to changes in healthcare laws, regulations and technology.
Potential employment opportunities include: health care recruiter; healthcare project manager; sales management; managing director; relationship manager; healthcare representative (medical device or pharmaceutical sales); health insurance; assistant administrator; business office manager; health navigator; billing manager; case manager, and practice manager. The average annual salary for entry-level medical and health services managers is $35,530.
No – the major only requires 30 hours of core courses. However, UNC Charlotte offers a wide range of minors that could enrich student readiness for workplace settings that demand effective communication, critical thinking and problem solving skills, digital literacy, and effective teamwork. Students are encouraged to consider completing a minor and a large number of options exist on campus that complement the major including: biology, communication studies, gerontology, international studies, management information systems, political science, and public health.
The time required to complete this program varies by student, but in no case can students complete this program in fewer than four semesters.
Some, but not all of the required courses are offered online and/or during summer sessions, which means you cannot complete this program if you are unable to attend in person classes. Students should verify course delivery options and terms offered using the Banner Course Summary Search tool. Please note that summer sections of HSMT 4400 Capstone are reserved for students who need to complete that course in order to graduate during the summer session(s).
