Higher Education in St. Pete? (Tampa, St. Petersburg: school, universities, campus)

[heathanoah]

Anybody have the low down on colleges/universities especially in the St. Pete area? I am a junior....looking to major in healthcare administration.

While you're at it....how easy/hard will it be for me to get an entry level position in the healthcare field in St. Pete (I have 5 years of exp.). Thanks so much!

Right in St. Petersburg you have St. Petersburg College which is a 4 year public institution. USF has a campus in St. Pete check their web site for majors available here. There's Eckerd College, which is a private 4 year school and since you are asking about the area you could go to Tampa for either University of Tampa or Univ. of south Florida. UT is private. You'll have to check to see which ones have the program you're interested in. I'll let others comment on the work situation but I think healthcare is a big industry here and there are tons of hospitals.
