UAMS Master of Health Administration (MHA)

The Master of Health Administration (MHA) program has been preparing students for careers as healthcare administrators for more than forty years. It is the only CAHME (Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education) – accredited program in Arkansas, and our graduates work in organizations involved in the provision, financing, insuring, and regulation of healthcare. The curriculum is developmentally structured, with each semester’s work building on previous semesters. The program is designed to provide an optimal mix between traditional classroom work and experiential learning in healthcare organizations. To further expose our students to real world issues a number of courses are taught by practicing senior-level healthcare administrators. The MHA requires 51 credit hours, and is designed to be completed in 21 months by full-time students, or approximately three and one-half years by part-time students. Courses are offered in a remote style with weekly zoom sessions in the evening to accommodate the program’s mix of full- and part-time students.
