Health Administration, M.H.A.
The Master of Health Administration (MHA) is a professional degree preparing graduates for leadership positions in health care administration. The MHA equips students with the management, analytic, and strategic thinking skills necessary to lead health services organizations and improve population health. The health care industry is rapidly growing and changing, and demand for graduate training in health administration is at an all-time high. MHA students gain business and management skills specific to the health services industry, giving them a competitive employment advantage across the full spectrum of health services organizations. The MHA is a rigorous program accredited through the Council on Education in Public Health (CEPH).
This program allows the student to follow one of two tracks:
An Executive MHA track designed for working health services professionals seeking to advance to executive leadership positions. Students complete 42-45 credits of coursework including an applied capstone project. Students utilize past managerial experience to accelerate their degree progress while enriching the learning experience of their classmates.
A Standard MHA track for students who do not have workplace experience but who have completed an undergraduate degree from any field of study. Students complete 48-51 credits of coursework including studies in health administration careers, an applied capstone project, and an administrative internship.
Both tracks are available on-ground and 100% online, on a full-time or part-time basis, allowing students the flexibility to balance school, work and family.
