CAHME-Accredited Curriculum Grounded in Ethics and Justice
The online MHA curriculum is framed by The University of Scranton's Jesuit emphasis on ethics and education for justice and is the same as the on-campus Master of Health Administration program. The essential skills necessary for students to grow and prosper in this challenging industry are a key focus.
The CAHME-accredited online MHA program is made up of 44 credits plus a three-credit internship with 150 hours of fieldwork experience (HAD 580 Internship in Health Administration). Students may choose to add to the online MHA with either the health informatics specialization or the global health specialization for a total of 53 credits, including 150 hours of fieldwork. The global health specialization includes two, 10-day study abroad trips to places like South America and Europe.
Courses in the health administration curriculum are based in the Healthcare Leadership Competencies and cover a wide range of topics including financial management, organization, health systems, law, ethics, operations, quality control, and more.
What CAHME-Accreditation Means for You
Our well-rounded curriculum is designed to prepare you for success and is developed in accordance with criteria established by the Commission on Accreditation Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). The only MHA accreditor recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, CAHME is an interdisciplinary council of educational, professional, clinical, and commercial leaders. It promotes, evaluates, and improves the quality of graduate healthcare management education in the United States and Canada. This means employers, colleagues, and you can be confident your education meets or exceeds industry standards. While the vast majority of your coursework can be completed according to your own schedule, some courses do require synchronous elements in order to maintain CAHME accreditation requirements.
The distinguished faculty at The University of Scranton have expert knowledge in the classes they teach. Our professors create a dynamic learning environment that fosters both critical thought and creativity. Upon completion of the MHA curriculum, students will be well-prepared to transition into leadership roles and advance their careers in the field of health administration.
