  • Concentration-specific (i.e. Accounting, Human Resources, Leadership, etc.): complete 12 credits of coursework from within one MBA concentration

Students may at any time transition into the MBA degree program course of study through the standard application process.

What to Expect

With an MBA in healthcare administration, you will better understand management in healthcare and how to work with insurance companies. Develop the knowledge to handle challenges that may arise with budgeting, human resources, and public policy issues. You will have the opportunity to complete an internship in the healthcare sector to further build your expertise. Upon completion of this program, you will be a stronger leader with increased financial competence, better writing abilities, and stronger strategic problem-solving skills to better serve in healthcare.

Consider adding a bachelor's degree in public health which will give you the skills and understanding to help protect and promote the health of the general population through prevention and health equity. Knowledge in public health will enhance your abilities to serve in healthcare administration.
