The University of Alaska Fairbanks College of Business and Security Management is introducing new online graduate courses in healthcare management and leadership. Students can enroll in healthcare administration classes starting in fall 2023.
Healthcare management courses will be available through two different pathways: a 12-credit graduate certificate and a 9-credit healthcare concentration in the MBA degree program. Topics include healthcare law and ethics, information systems and decision making in health services, the economics of health care delivery and more.
The healthcare management certificate program offers students hands-on experience working with local health service organizations to help solve complex problems. These programs are intended for those who are interested or who currently work in the healthcare industry and will prepare students for careers such as healthcare consultant, business or data analyst for a health system or insurance company, practice administrator and hospital administrator.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the demand for leaders in healthcare. The new courses are available completely online, making the program accessible to nontraditional, working and remote students.

Copper River Delta Salmon Fishermen: Do Not Kill or Injure Seals and Sea Lions and Harm the Good Name of Your World Class Fishery
The reputation of Alaska’s commercial fisheries can be negatively affected by the few who break the law and illegally kill or injure endangered Steller sea lions and protected harbor seals.
Multiple dead endangered Steller sea lions were found in the Copper River Delta in the past two months during aerial surveys completed by NOAA Fisheries’ Protected Resources Division, in collaboration with the United States Coast Guard. Like us, these animals were just trying to eat to survive but instead, were killed in their prime. Some of these dead Steller sea lions were young and likely learning to feed on their own for the first time. Please help us stop this illegal killing.
