York University received approval from the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) to launch a Master of Health Care Administration (MHA) program this fall. Designed for adult learners with a bachelor's degree in any discipline, this 36-credit-hour program will prepare students for professional management positions within health care institutions, including hospitals, clinics, care centers, pharmaceuticals, insurance, and other service providers.

 

York University's master's programs are 100% online and asynchronous, meaning that students can accomplish things on their own time, free of designated class time restrictions. The two-year program will include twelve courses. It will cover a broad range of leadership and administrative topics, including health care management, health care systems, health care law, marketing, economics, ethics, crisis communication, team building, and evaluation.

 

Provost Shannon Leinen said, “We were so thankful to have organizations like our Chamber of Commerce, York Chiropractic Acupuncture and Massage, York General Hospital, Henderson Health Care, and York County Development Corporation support us as the accreditors talked about the need in health care for better prepared, business-minded leaders.”
