Master of Health Administration
The Master of Health Administration program is designed to meet the educational needs of working professionals and others who desire to advance in the field of health administration. The program consists of a sequence of concentrated online courses which are generally eight weeks long, plus a Capstone Project, and an Internship. The Internship is required of students who do not have a strong background in healthcare management or administration. The MHA is typically completed in 20 to 24 months; the plan of study can be adjusted with the advisor’s prior approval.
