Healthcare administration programs in Georgia

2 healthcare administration programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

2 schools offer these healthcare administration programs, and Georgia has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Healthcare administrators, also called medical and health services managers, run the business side of health care: a whole facility, one clinical department or a practice shared by a group of doctors. Most have a bachelor's degree, but some employers hire people with an associate degree, and work experience can sometimes stand in for school. Every state requires nursing home administrators to hold a license, and the rules vary by state.¹

In Georgia, both programs ask for a high school diploma or equivalent.

By kind, the 2 programs here are healthcare administration (associate degree, 1 program) and healthcare administration certificate or course (1 program).

Are there free healthcare administration programs in Georgia?

Yes, if you qualify. WIOA (public workforce funding) can pay for any program on this page, in full or in part, depending on local limits.²³⁴For a degree, the job center first looks at grants such as a federal Pell Grant; WIOA pays toward what they don't cover.⁴
Ask an American Job Center whether you qualify, or call 1-877-872-5627.⁵ Before funding training, the center goes through an assessment and a career plan with you.⁴
Or pay yourself. These programs cost $3,042 to $8,380.

Who qualifies, and other ways to pay: financial aid, grants and the GI Bill

Where the Georgia healthcare administration program numbers come from

Which Georgia healthcare administration programs are on this list?

These are the healthcare administration programs Georgia approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).⁹ The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Georgia offers.

How the prices and results of Georgia healthcare administration programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
