Xavier-Louisiana PharmD & Regis M.S. in Health Services Administration

Transforming the face of health care together

Management and leadership positions within hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, retail pharmacies and managed care organizations increasingly require the pharmaceutical knowledge obtained through a Doctor of Pharmacy degree combined with management, administrative and business knowledge.


What is the M.S. in Health Services Administration?

The Regis M.S. in Health Services Administration is much like an MBA for health care. Courses in finance, organizational ethics, operations, leadership, research and technology management will augment your pharmacy knowledge and provide you with a deeper understanding of the entire health care landscape.

With a dual Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Xavier-Louisiana and a Master of Science in Health Services Administration degree from Regis University, you will gain the financial, management, administrative and strategic planning skills needed to successfully lead in complex health care organizations.
