Shape the Future of Care
Gain hands-on experience in healthcare administration through a program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Health Management Education (CAHME) while working with local healthcare organizations.
Program Overview
The Master of Health Administration (MHA) program at the Brooks College of Health is designed to develop the next generation of effective and innovative healthcare leaders. This 45-credit-hour program prepares students for high-impact roles in managing and leading healthcare organizations by offering a strong foundation in healthcare finance, health policy, operations management, strategic planning, and leadership development.
What sets the MHA program apart is its strong integration of academic knowledge with real-world application. Students benefit from direct collaboration and engagement with some of the region and nation’s most respected healthcare organizations, including Mayo Clinic, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida, Baptist Health, HCA Memorial, and St. Vincent’s Hospital. These partnerships provide unique opportunities for mentorship, site visits, and networking.
The program also includes practical training and industry-recognized certifications, such as Lean Competency System (LCS) Level 1C Certification (equivalent to a Green Belt) and Human-Centered Design training, sponsored by GuideWell/Florida Blue. These experiences help students develop skills in innovation, process improvement, and patient-centered care design —key competencies for modern healthcare administrators.
Applicants should possess a bachelor’s degree in any field. Those without professional experience in healthcare administration are encouraged to submit acceptable GRE scores as part of the application. Graduates are well-prepared to lead hospitals, health systems, insurance companies, and other healthcare organizations with confidence, strategic insight, and a commitment to excellence.
