Healthcare administrators are paid more in New York than in any other state, a
median of $164,120 against $123,860 nationally. That single
figure changes how to read every other number on this page, because it means the
21 healthcare administration programs in New York are competing to
place graduates into the best-paid version of this job in the country. It also
means the $48,400 at the top of the tuition range is a more defensible
bet here than the same price would be elsewhere.

Alfred, NY

Alfred State runs a 2+2 route for adult learners in which the bachelor's half is completed 100% online in four- to seven-week courses offered year-round.
The Healthcare Management programs sit in the Allied Health Department as a two-year Associate of Science and a four-year Bachelor of Technology, and the college describes the BTech as designed around working and transfer students. The management content covers finance, law, human resources and quality control, taught by industry professionals, with graduates pointed either at leadership roles or at MBA and MHA study afterwards.
The 2+2 structure is the distinctive part. A student who already holds the associate builds on it to finish the bachelor's entirely online, in short courses running through the year rather than in semesters, and the college states that the hands-on projects are tied directly to the student's own daily work. Residency is listed as either the campus in Alfred, New York, or fully remote.
- Bachelor's half completed 100% online

Cortland, NY
$7,070 in-state tuition68% graduation rate60% admit rate65.9 score
Cortland requires a full-time, semester-long fieldwork placement, and built the degree by joining its business economics and public health departments rather than housing it in one of them.
The college describes this as one of the first healthcare management degrees of its kind in the SUNY system, and the curriculum shows the join: human resource management, health economics, leadership and ethics in business, and operations and supply chain management sit alongside the organization and administration of health programs, health informatics and communication, and epidemiology and biostatistics.
The fieldwork is full-time and runs a semester, which is longer than the internships most programs at this level require. Electives let students angle the degree toward medicine or toward community-based and non-profit work. Cortland names a health economist and a healthcare management specialist among its full-time faculty, and points graduates at healthcare administration, human resources, finance and health informatics roles across hospitals, nursing homes, clinics and larger systems.
- Full-time, semester-long fieldwork placement
- Built across business economics and public health

Roberts Wesleyan

Rochester, NY
$37,408 in-state tuition67% graduation rate71% admit rate62.5 score
Roberts Wesleyan requires two semester-long healthcare internships rather than one, and qualifying students can finish the master's in 14 months instead of 18.
The degree is sequenced business first: students build foundational skills in business administration, then complete the degree studying health administration, which is a different order from programs that teach the healthcare context first and add management later. The stated work is using business administration skills alongside clinicians and patients to improve the environment of patient care.
Two semester-long internships in healthcare settings are built into the undergraduate degree. For students continuing, the university shortens its Master of Health Administration to as little as 14 months against the usual 18 for those who qualify, so the combined route is materially faster than taking the two degrees separately.
- Two semester-long healthcare internships
- Business administration core taken first
- MHA in as little as 14 months for qualifying students
- Program guide published for the major

Lehman attaches a Nursing Home Administration certificate to the same department, so a student can add the credential for a licensed role alongside the B.S.
The B.S. in Health Services Administration sits in Lehman's Department of Health, Administration, Research and Technology, beside a Health Services Administration minor, a Nursing Home Administration certificate and an M.S. in the same field, which means the undergraduate degree, the specialist credential and the graduate step are all in one place. The department also runs public health programs, including a 4+1 route to a CUNY graduate public health degree.
Teaching combines online classes with hands-on internship experience in real-world settings. Because New York licenses and certifies a number of the roles this field leads to, CUNY publishes a disclosure about whether the program meets the educational requirements for licensure, which is worth reading if the nursing home administration route is the reason for choosing it.
- Nursing Home Administration certificate in the same department
- Online classes with an internship placement
- Minor and M.S. in the same field

Canton treats the 12-credit final-semester internship as optional, letting students substitute coursework or split the credits between the two, where most healthcare administration bachelor's programs make the field placement a requirement.
The degree pairs a business core in accounting, finance, human resources, marketing, and economics with healthcare coursework the program page names directly: Managed Care, Healthcare Finance, Healthcare Economics, Public Health, Legal and Ethical Issues in Healthcare, Quality and Patient Safety, Health Information Technology, and Healthcare Facility Administration. Canton makes a point of the B.S. designation itself, which carries a minimum of 60 credit hours in liberal arts and sciences against the 30 hours a BBA or B.Tech requires, so more of the four years sits outside the major than in most applied management degrees.
Coursework runs entirely online, though students can also attend face to face or combine the two formats. The program is built for three groups: high school graduates, working professionals, and transfer students arriving from healthcare, business, or liberal arts programs. The 12-credit internship sits in the final semester and is optional, with a course-based alternative or a mix of courses and placement. The School of Business and Liberal Arts holds specialized accreditation for its business programs through the International Accreditation Council for Business Education. Graduates can continue into MBA programs at Clarkson University or SUNY Empire through established connections.

Delhi, NY
$7,070 in-state tuition45% graduation rate89% admit rate58.4 score
Delhi runs the degree as a crossover point for two different students, nursing majors who want out of direct patient care and business majors moving into healthcare, and gives both the same load of anatomy, physiology and epidemiology alongside budgeting and healthcare law.
The curriculum runs two tracks at once. On the clinical side, the program names epidemiology, anatomy and physiology, healthcare law and regulations, and ethics. On the management side, you develop and manage budgets, work through strategic planning, and take project management, policy, business, law, psychology and computer science coursework. Delhi describes the combination as hands-on nursing and healthcare instruction paired with business and technology education, and puts biology in the required mix alongside the healthcare courses. The stated aim is a graduate who can work well with practitioners, doctors and nurses, not only with the budget.
Delivery is the other decision. Delhi offers the degree either in a traditional classroom or in an online and on-campus hybrid format, which the college frames as an accommodation for students already working. The program is pitched at two starting points: nursing students who want a healthcare career beyond direct patient care, and business students moving into healthcare. That shapes the outcome list the page publishes, which leans toward operational roles rather than corporate ones: clinic manager, practice administrator, medical records supervisor, health information manager, nursing home administrator and dental office supervisor.
- Classroom or online/on-campus hybrid format
- Anatomy, physiology and epidemiology in the core
- Aimed at nursing and business students alike
- Budgeting, healthcare law and strategic planning

Unlike most healthcare administration bachelor's degrees, this online BBA runs students through a full medical coding and hospital reimbursement sequence before the management courses begin.
The BBA runs 120 credits: 72 in major-related coursework, 33 in general education, and 15 in open electives, delivered entirely online and listed at 51 months in normal time. The major starts on the medical-office side, with Medical Terminology, Introduction to Medical Coding, Advanced Medical Coding, Hospital Reimbursement, and Health Information Technology. Upper-division HCA courses then move to the system level: US Healthcare, Global Healthcare Delivery Systems, Managed Care, Human Resource Management in Healthcare, Public Health Issues and Practices, and Long Term Care Administration, which the school ties to elder care organizations and an aging patient population.
Business coursework carries the management half: Principles of Management, Management Applications and Strategy, Financial Accounting I, Spreadsheet Applications, and Accounting for Managers. The program closes with HCA480, a Health Administration Capstone offered only to online students and required in the final four terms, built on case studies, comparative analyses, and field research rather than a placement. Two courses gate progress: Healthcare Law and Ethics and Administrative Medical Practices both require a C to continue, and a D forces a repeat. Foundations in Microbiology sits in the major but also satisfies a general education requirement. Transfer applicants from other institutions are evaluated by the Office of Bachelor Studies and Returning Students.

Trocaire delivers the degree in what it calls an "Asynchronous Plus Format," meaning self-paced weekly content plus a voluntary one-hour Q&A session each week that the instructor schedules, with any in-class meetings left optional.
Trocaire awards this as a Bachelor of Professional Studies rather than a BS, and it sits in the college's Division of Allied Health and Professions. The page aims it at people already working in healthcare in Western New York, not at students starting from zero. Trocaire says the curriculum was built with input from employers, industry experts and scholars, and names four course areas: Healthcare Management, Leadership, Strategic Planning and Quantitative Analysis. The stated intent is applying theory to practice using experience you already have from allied health work, so the coursework is meant to be usable on the job while you are still enrolled.
Delivery is the detail worth weighing. Coursework is primarily asynchronous with weekly self-paced content, and each week the instructor schedules a single one-hour Q&A session that students can attend or skip. In-class sessions exist but the page calls them optional, so nothing on the schedule requires a trip to the campus in Buffalo, New York. That is a lighter live commitment than online programs built around required synchronous seminars. It also means the weekly contact with an instructor is available rather than guaranteed, which suits a working schedule but puts the burden of pacing on you.

Run out of the School of Business, the major lets students attach a concentration in Finance, Marketing, or Sports Management, a specialization set most healthcare administration bachelor's programs do not offer.
The degree sits in the School of Business and is structured around 30 credits of business and healthcare management courses plus 18 credits in related fields.

Students close out the program with a capstone course built to put the full sequence into practice. The college describes faculty as holding expertise in both business and health care, and points to working relationships with clinical facilities across the Hudson Valley.
Healthcare Management is offered as a major or a minor, and majors choose from Finance, Marketing, or Sports Management concentrations. Instruction is on campus in Newburgh, New York, roughly an hour north of New York City, so it is not an option for students who need online or evening-only delivery.

Health Services Management here is a BBA awarded through Berkeley's Larry L. Luing School of Business, which holds IACBE specialized accreditation, rather than a health sciences bachelor's built on clinical coursework.
Berkeley College runs Health Services Management as a Bachelor of Business Administration inside the Larry L. Luing School of Business, which has received specialized accreditation from the International Accreditation Council for Business Education. The coursework is built around the structure and dynamics of the healthcare industry: the roles hospitals, rehabilitation centers, long-term care facilities and individual practitioners play, and how private and governmental funding agencies interact with them. A separate thread covers the technology and specialized software used to collect, process and apply healthcare information, alongside critical thinking, problem solving, and producing written and oral communication.
The associate and bachelor's degrees are built to stack, so an AAS in Health Services Management carries into the BBA without a break. Students who enrolled before Fall 2024 finish under the program's earlier name, Health Services Administration. Berkeley describes the internship or job-related assignment as an opportunity students may have rather than a fixed requirement. Admission asks for graduation from an accredited high school or the equivalent plus an entrance exam or SAT/ACT scores, on rolling deadlines, with a personal interview strongly recommended. Both the New York and New Jersey campuses offer the program, and its courses also run online.
