Health Services Administration–MHA
Program Description:
Demand is increasing for health care administrators who can help steer their organizations through the legal, regulatory, financial and staffing challenges confronting hospitals, assisted living companies, home health care and rehabilitation centers.
The NLU graduate program in Health Services Administration–MHA is designed for those of you who are health professionals and have at least three years of full-time employment in a leadership role in a health care-related organization. You will strengthen your administrative skills through individual studies, workplace observation, projects and presentations; participate in policy debates with colleagues, guest speakers and faculty; and learn “practical management” techniques that you can immediately use on the job.
Because this course of study builds upon your clinical and/or supervisory experience, your current employment experiences will serve as an alternative to an internship.
How You Will Learn:
The NLU graduate program in Health Services Administration–MHA is taught using a cohort model, which means you will go through the program with the same group of 12-20 students. NLU graduates like the cohort model because of the support and friendships provided by their fellow students throughout the program.
What You Will Learn:
- How to evaluate issues facing modern-day health care.
- How to use analytical and problem-solving abilities to tackle challenges in the health care industry.
- How a broader understanding of health care, organizational behavior, economics, finance and managerial accounting can enhance your administrative career.
Where You Can Take the Program:
At NLU Illinois campuses in
Chicago,

Wheeling and at the NLU
Tampa campus. On partnering military bases, and off campus in selected locations.
