Master of Health Administration - Traditional

The Master of Health Administration (MHA) trains future administrators to follow a productive and rewarding career in the healthcare industry. Highly regulated, healthcare continuously changes and makes a difference in people’s lives like no other profession. Future health administrators from this program will learn how to be adept at interpreting regulations to continually changing events and circumstances within this booming industry.

Courses are offered on our main campus in Boca Raton. The MHA degree is fully accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
