MSc in Health Administration (Residential) in Birmingham United States | University of Alabama at Birmingham

For healthcare organizations to thrive, they require skilled administrators like yourself to ensure seamless operations. Our program equips you with the leadership competencies needed for roles in hospitals, healthcare networks, medical practices, long-term care centers, consulting agencies, and insurance providers.

We offer this program in two distinct formats - executive and residential - with your professional background determining the ideal path. Experienced healthcare professionals will join the executive track, enhancing their expertise through blended distance learning and on-campus intensives to prepare for upper management roles. Those transitioning into healthcare administration will benefit from the residential program, gaining foundational knowledge and valuable networking prospects. While the curricula differ slightly, both tracks cover essential subjects like healthcare policy, strategic development, medical law, organizational principles, economics, and marketing strategies. The executive program culminates with a capstone project, whereas the residential option includes an administrative residency, internship, and capstone course requirement.
