I recommend getting a general MBA. Heck, I would do the Hellenic $3000 MBA if still offered which is RA accredited but not AASCB. Then, I would get a post-masters certificate in healthcare management and/or apply for one of the many healthcare administrative fellowships offered at hospitals nationwide. In my opinion, getting a paid fellowship or internship in healthcare administration far outweighs any college degree because it provides you with actual experience/validation and the connections to move into that sector. Too many people overestimate the "power" of the degree and underestimate "real-world" experience. The cheap accredited MBA checks the box, but the fellowship, internship, or even entry-level healthcare administrative experience is the key. Of course, an MBA from Harvard or Johns Hopkins wouldn't hurt! Otherwise, don't waste your time or money. As a matter of fact, I would leverage my bachelor's for an entry-level healthcare administrative position right now while working on a cheap MBA. Experience is everything in the healthcare sector!
Liberty has a post-bachelor "graduate" certificate. First responders and veterans get a good discount. Don't forget these graduate credits may transfer to a masters program. If able, I would take the healthcare informatics course to start, which should boost your resume immediately:
