Beschreibung des Programms

Graduates of the MHA program are prepared to assume management positions in health services organizations through-out the world. The integration of theory and practice in the program allows students to develop technical and interpersonal skills essential to successful leadership in health services. Students complete 15 core courses in health management and policy. They also take five graduate electives in the School of Public Health or in other schools of the University.

In addition, students take what they learn from the classroom into the field during a 13-week internship under the direction of a senior health care executive. Each year, the program recruits sponsors from more than six dozen diverse health care sites nationwide including hospitals and health systems, managed care organizations, consulting 4 firms, long-term care facilities, physician practices and government agencies.

Prerequisites All students entering the MHA program in the fall of 2004 should complete a three credit hour course in two areas: microeconomics and introduction to finance concepts, before matriculation. They may be taken at the undergraduate or graduate level. One of these requirements may be completed during the first semester of study with minimal alteration to the course of study. Students entering without a background course in either area are required to complete a course in the Fundamentals of Economics and Finance offered by the Department. An introductory course in statistics is also recommended. Applicant questions regarding these prerequisites should be addressed to the Department.
