About the Residential Master of Healthcare Administration Program at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Every piece of the MHA experience - from team-based activities in a curated cohort, to real-world applications of classroom learning, connections with executive alumni leaders, opportunities for innovation, rigorous self-reflection, individualized coaching – is all designed to give you a depth and breadth of healthcare knowledge that spans from the system to the individual, from finance to operations, to strategy, marketing and beyond. We prepare students for the healthcare system of the future.
The UNC MHA curriculum is designed to create the next generation of healthcare leaders. In the first year, students immerse themselves in healthcare as a system and how the fundamentals of healthcare business - accounting, operations, strategy, data analysis, and leadership - come together to create the healthcare system as we know it. After a summer internship of applied learning, students return in the second year to apply their learnings and expand their healthcare expertise through a deep dive into health economics, law, human resources, and finance – culminating in an applied Capstone experience.
