MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the King’s College Graduate Program in Healthcare Administration is to provide students with the professional knowledge and the skills necessary to be effective and socially responsible leaders in the health services industry. The program seeks to develop in its students an essential understanding of the healthcare delivery systems and services, the factors that influence the healthcare environment, the appropriate healthcare management and research methods practiced, and the professional competencies that are pertinent in today’s healthcare environment.
Rooted in the Catholic tradition of the Congregation of the Holy Cross the program provides a student-centered learning environment with faculty committed to excellent teaching. Faculty actively engages in scholarly research, ongoing professional development and community service to support and strengthen their primary role of teaching. The program also seeks to develop partnerships with other college programs, program alumni and the healthcare industry in Northeastern Pennsylvania that offer resources that support and compliment the educational mission of the program.
Vision Statement: To develop the healthcare leaders of tomorrow by providing a dynamic learning-centered environment which engages students in challenging experiences that serve as a catalyst for a lifetime of learning and personal growth. Graduates provide leadership built on a foundation of knowledge, innovation and social responsibility.
Value Statement:
Society has a greater need for people of values than it has for scholars. Knowledge itself does not bring about positive values, but positive values do influence knowledge.
-Fr. Basil Moreau, founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross
