The Master of Health Services Administration program is designed to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and others who wish to obtain the knowledge and skills needed to assume mid- and executive-level managerial positions in health services organizations.

Graduates of the Master of Health Services Administration program are prepared for managerial positions in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, physician’s offices, pharmaceutical and device manufacturers, consulting, government and public policy, and others.
Students who have not earned degrees from appropriate fields of study may be required to take additional coursework as a prerequisite for completing the program.
