Program Overview

The 46 credit-hour (including required fieldwork) MHA program challenges students to use and apply many healthcare management tools, principles, methods, and strategies in a stimulating and highly interactive learning environment. You can choose between four specializations: Global Health, Health Informatics (online only), Population Health Management (on-campus only), and Post-Acute Care.

Guided by expert faculty, you’ll prepare to make a difference for your organization’s patients and advance to senior management roles and other healthcare staff positions.

Our MHA program received the CAHME Award for Sustainability in Healthcare Management Education and Practice.
