Master of Health Administration (M.H.A.) in Richmond United States | Virginia Commonwealth University

The Master of Health Administration program equips individuals for leadership roles, guiding them toward executive positions in healthcare organizations. The curriculum focuses on both strategic and operational management, exposing students to the wide range of challenges and responsibilities they'll face in healthcare administration. This program is built on the understanding that many students aim to reach senior executive roles in healthcare. Designed for full-time study, the M.H.A. program first earned accreditation in 1968—among the earliest in the U.S.—and has maintained this recognition ever since, receiving a seven-year reaccreditation in 2017. A key component of VCU's M.H.A. program is the administrative residency/internship, which allows students to apply and enhance their skills in real-world settings under the guidance of seasoned executives serving as mentors.
