Curriculum
The Master of Healthcare Administration (M.H.A.) is built around a rigorously structured core curriculum that develops the high-level decision-making skills needed in the complex world of healthcare. The curriculum includes the classic management disciplines such as finance, human resources, information technology, operations, and organizational behavior, but stresses the unique applications of these areas within the healthcare sector. Coursework in problem solving, innovation and design, leadership, and interprofessional teamwork are hallmarks of the Minnesota M.H.A.
The full-time program is designed for students with limited healthcare management experience.
The M.H.A./M.B.A. dual degree option has been in existence for over 15 years, and is designed for students who wish to earn an M.B.A. degree as well as an M.H.A. degree. Both degrees can be completed in three years upon completion of the required 95 credits. The dual degree option prepares students for management careers in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, and medical device industries.
Developed in 2008, the JD/MHA Joint Degree Program can be completed in four years. This option prepares individuals for a career as legal advisor or general counsel in a healthcare organization.
