HAD_MHA - Health Administration (M.H.A.)

Master of Health Administration(M.H.A.) with a Major in Health Administration

The Master of Health Administration (M.H.A.) is a two-year, lock-step program with a summer internship between the first and second years. Small class sizes allow for individual attention and guidance from faculty members. The program prepares qualified individuals, motivated by a social mission and a commitment to the community, for various management positions in the health services industry. Organizations seek individuals who can solve business problems and build strategic relationships in a climate of continuous change.

The UF M.H.A. program develops engaged early-career health care professionals who use evidence-based strategies to improve healthcare quality, affordability, and access. We provide students with fundamental knowledge through a cohort model in a campus-based setting that emphasizes experiential learning and data-driven problem-solving, both in the classroom and in the practice environment. Students will develop proficiency in detecting, analyzing, managing, and responding to critical administrative issues in both provider and non-provider healthcare organizations. Our program embraces ethical conduct and professionalism, diversity and inclusion, practitioner involvement, and team-based learning. Faculty inform practice with research and service to the community. Applicants from any undergraduate major are considered.
