Eastern Florida State College offers a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) in Organizational Management with a specialization in Healthcare Management. This program is designed to prepare students for leadership roles in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, physician practices, public health departments, and diagnostic facilities. It is ideal for individuals who already hold an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree in a health-related field, but it also welcomes students with other associate degrees who wish to transition into healthcare business management.

The program includes core courses shared across all specializations of the Organizational Management BAS, along with specialized healthcare management courses. The core Organizational Management courses can be taken online or on campus, but the five upper-level courses specific to the Healthcare Management specialization are exclusively offered online.
