The master of health
administration program is designed to prepare students for effective
organizational management based on competencies and evidence based
practices needed to become exceptional managers and leaders. The program
is also committed to the improvement of health services through health
services research and community engagement within complex health-related
organizations. The 60 credit hour program is designed for aspiring and
committed professionals who are interested in careers in health services
administration in such settings as hospitals, managed care, insurance
and pharmaceutical companies, consulting firms, government agencies,
for-profit and nonprofit sector organizations.
The curriculum is guided by the NCHL Health Leadership Competency Model
which addresses the complexity and dynamic qualities of the health
leader's role and reflects the dynamic realities in health leadership
today. Through an internship
and a final integrative experience, students are asked to incorporate,
synthesize and apply their knowledge within both an operational and a
community context. The result is an organizational perspective that
encourages students to integrate knowledge from a range of management
disciplines while emphasizing accountability for effective performance
and operational excellence.
