Master of Health Administration Program
CGHS’s master’s degree program in health administration prepares students for leadership in the field. Graduates earn their health administration degree online and enter a fast growing segment of the U.S. labor market. The U.S. Department of Labor forecasts that Employment of medical and health services managers is expected to grow by 22 percent from 2010 to 2020, faster than the average for all occupations. As the large baby-boom population ages and people remain active later in life, the healthcare industry as a whole will see an increase in the demand for medical services, making the Master of Health Administration significant for those interested in career advancement.
This program integrates web-based instruction, directed readings, email, and chat room interactions between students and faculty. The College uses mission driven, context-based curriculum design, and assesses student learning through authentic embedded assessments.
