The goal of the master of science in health administration degree is to prepare students, who, after appropriate practical experience in responsible managerial positions, are capable of assuming positions as chief executive officers or senior administrators in complex, multi-service healthcare organizations or in organizations’ purchasing health services.
The curriculum is a synthesis of management concepts and techniques that are applicable to any economic organization and tools that can be specifically applied to health and health services systems. The program emphasizes skills that heighten basic analytical and decision-making processes used by top-level managers in selecting broad strategies for the institutions and by junior managers in administering subunits of health care organizations. The faculty guide the students in their mastery of theoretical, conceptual and quantitative topics.
The program has enjoyed continuous accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education since 1970.
