The UT Dallas Bachelor’s in Healthcare Management prepares both business and pre-health students with the management fundamentals and skills required by current and evolving industry standards. Henry Kotula published in January 2024 that:
“Although the U.S. population is only 4% of the world total, our spending for healthcare products and services represents 45% of the global healthcare market. Healthcare is 17.4% of U.S. GDP vs. an average of 9.6% for the economies in the 37 other high-income economies of the world. It is the U.S.’ biggest private employer (17.2 million), accounting for 24% of total U.S. job growth last year (Bureau of Labor Statistics). And it’s a growth industry: annual health spending growth is forecast to exceed 4% a year for the foreseeable future and almost 5% globally—well above inflation and GDP growth.”
