MBA-Health Administration Vision
To be a premier and high value provider of health
administration education to all types of clinical and non-clinical students.
MBA-Health Administration Mission
The MBA-HA program will provide students
with tools for successful careers and personal growth through:
- The use of both on-campus and off-campus education to enhance their skills,
knowledge and abilities in health administration roles
- Instruction of theoretical and conceptual frameworks for programmatic solutions
in actual practice settings,
- Preparation for private, public, profit or non-profit health service organizational
leadership, and
- Community based internships that add value to patients' care
MBA--Health Administration Goals
Programmatic goals include obtaining a selection of both diverse student and faculty
educational and experiential backgrounds to foster increased interdisciplinary
understanding of health care. Because a health administrator supports those who provide
care, it is incumbent to include both clinicians and non-clinicians in the student body to
refine their analytical, verbal and quantitative skills for resolving complex health care
issues. Individuals learn both cognitive and affective educational domains.
MBA--Health Administration Objectives
The MBA-HA has four primary objectives. They are to prepare students:
- For positions of increased responsibility within healthcare,
- For further career choices beyond the entry level,
- With clinical, business or other backgrounds, who want to expand their careers
into health administration, and
- To improve the quality of care and resource use in health organizations
