Health Care Leadership (B.S.)
An NLU Online Degree Program

Health care is one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy. NLU's Health Care Leadership (HCL) major is particularly suited to those who are health care professionals with technical and clinical skills who now want to expand their career opportunities by developing management, supervision and leadership skills. Hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation centers and pharmaceutical companies are looking for employees who know how to lead teams, understand an increasingly complex regulatory and business environment, and apply what they learn in the classroom on the job.
