Graduate Program Overview

The M.H.A. degree offered by the Department of Public and Healthcare Administration prepares graduates for leadership and management positions in the increasingly complex and dynamic healthcare industry. Designed for professionals who wish to advance in their management careers or individuals interested in pursuing a healthcare management career, it draws students from health service organizations such as healthcare systems, hospitals, assisted living facilities, medical group practices, managed care organizations, home care agencies, pharmaceutical companies, management consulting firms and industries that supply services to healthcare organizations. 

Generally, students interested in management careers in healthcare provider agencies (such as hospitals, physician practices, and long term care facilities) have opted for the M.H.A., while students with greater interest in healthcare policy or healthcare delivery systems have opted for the M.P.A. 

The M.H.A. program is offered on campus and online.

The Seton Hall University M.H.A. program is a participant in the American College of Healthcare Executives Higher Education Network.
