The M.H.A. program was established in 1982 to support professionals who wish to enhance their career with a degree in health care administration while remaining employed. Courses are designed to fit your schedule and concepts are immediately applicable to your career. The majority of coursework is offered online, and students are also involved in our on-campus Executive Residency Workshops. Earning an M.H.A at DMU allows students to further develop their understanding of the health care delivery system and their management and leadership skills.
New Curriculum
The M.H.A program is excited to launch a new curriculum in the fall of 2012. This curriculum was developed in an effort to more closely align our curriculum with the standards in education recommended by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). Our new curriculum features our blended course deliver, including our Executive Residency Workshops. Current research from the U.S. Department of Education demonstrates that a hybrid of online and face-to-face learning produces the highest student outcomes. These workshops will add an essential component to educating current and future leaders in health care.
