The Certificate in Long-Term Care Administration is a six-course sequence that provides a theoretical and practical foundation in long-term care administration. The coursework provides an excellent credential for those already working in long-term care facilities. The Certificate also qualifies students who do not possess a college degree to sit for the Illinois licensing examination for nursing home administrators, provided they meet all other requirements.

Operating on the business side of health care, health administrators work a dynamic and constantly changing environment with a strong human care dimension. They plan and coordinate departmental activities, develop policies and procedures, assure the quality of care, oversee patient services, and train and recruit employees. They may also participate in public relations activities such as fund-raising and community health planning and many other activities essential to the facility they serve. To be successful, health administrators must have excellent interpersonal and strong analytical skills, coupled with a solid understanding of both business and healthcare practices. As healthcare continues to evolve, health administrators must be prepared to deal with an increasingly complex regulatory environment as well as an increased focus on preventive care. The curriculum for Health Administration pairs the Public Health curriculum with a business administration focus area.
