Graduate Program Overview

The Masters in Healthcare Administration (MHA) degree is a 42 credit program. Our MHA program provides a high quality educational experience that prepares individuals for managerial challenges facing the healthcare industry today. The MHA curriculum includes courses that are relevant to daily healthcare challenges.

Generally a part-time student can complete the program in 3 years. A full-time student should be able to complete the program in 2 years by taking courses in the fall, spring and summer. Students generally choose the on campus format for a variety of reasons; schedule, convenience and learning style preference.

Many of our students work full-time, have families and other commitments outside of school. The non-traditional structure of the M.H.A. program (evening/weekend on-campus courses, online courses and full- or part-time attendance) provides a great deal of flexibility to students in completing the program. On average, students complete 6 credit hours or two courses each term. Course calendars are available to allow students to plan their schedules around courses they need. Finally, our faculty has an understanding of the demands on adult students and work with them to meet the requirements of the curriculum.

Individuals who are interested in a MHA certificate option may select the on campus certificate program. The certificate program consists of a minimum of 15 credits. To visit our certificate program website please click here.

The Seton Hall University MHA program is a participant in the American College of Healthcare Executives Higher Education Network. We are currently accepting applications for September 2012 and January 2013.
