Get an overview of the M.H.A. program
The M.H.A. program was established in 1982 to support professionals who wish to enhance their career with a degree while remaining employed. Courses are designed to fit your schedule and concepts are immediately applicable to your career. Three-quarters of the degree requirement is offered online, while one-quarter of the coursework will be completed on our campus through the Executive Residencies. 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.
Curriculum
The M.H.A 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 curriculum features our blended course delivery, including our Executive Residencies. 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.
