Master of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration
The field of healthcare relies on its members working together to overcome obstacles and challenges and leadership to help guide them. The Master of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration (MBA) program is designed to help students cultivate leadership and management skills to face the business challenges that could arise in the healthcare industry. The healthcare administration degree is designed to help prepare future leaders with a foundation of business analysis and a specialization in healthcare administration competencies to better manage the unique challenges of healthcare and business management.
The healthcare administration program focuses on preparing graduates to interpret the knowledge in healthcare management principles and content, evaluate the impact of healthcare policy and law on the delivery and services provided by the industry, integrate market research with strategic planning in healthcare, assess managerial and leadership challenges in healthcare, and demonstrate the ability to communicate and present information that is concise, clear, organized, supported, and persuasive in a professional manner appropriate to the healthcare industry.
The healthcare administration program is taught in a hybrid format. The hybrid format includes online coursework and on-campus sessions held one Saturday per course. This combines the independence of online study with the face-to-face aspects of campus classes.
