Management

Undergrad major

Management is about finding the best way to accomplish tasks and achieve goals. Effective managers are essential to the success of any organization. They skillfully coordinate the activities of the organization and lead and support the people within it, so that the organization can achieve its goals. Managers need a good understanding of planning, organizing, leading and controlling organizational processes.

Healthcare organizations collect extensive amounts of data for effective decision-making, making data analysis skills increasingly important in nearly all health-related careers.

In UWL’s Healthcare Analytics Management program you will learn the analytical tools (such as Excel, R-studio, SQL) and methods (such as data visualization, data cleaning, descriptive and inferential analysis, and machine learning) to solve healthcare management problems and guide professional decision-making.
