Description
Health care facilities have become increasingly complex to manage due to a number of factors: increased governmental regulation, demand for accountability, advances in healthcare technology, the changing demographics of the country, and variety of reimbursement systems. There is a pressing need for qualified health care administrators to plan, organize, direct, and control the organization's resources. Career opportunities abound for capable, highly skilled individuals. To help meet this need, the Master in Health Administration program in the College of Health Professions offers the MHA degree in two formats: one a full-time traditional day program (residential format) and one in an executive format via on-line course delivery. The residential MHA program consists of 60 semester hours: 48 semester hours of care coursework, 6 elective hours, and 6 hours of field experience. The executive MHA consists of 54 semester hours: 48 hous of core coursework and 6 hours of elective courses. While both programs are designed to develop the health care leaders of tomorrow, the Executive program is designed for working health care professionals who wish to continue working and pursue their education to advance their careers.
