There are many reasons why a student might pursue an online master of healthcare administration degree. Perks of an online MHA degree include having the ability to keep your job while pursuing growth in your career and education, a reduced cost, and increased accessibility. If these factors play an important role in your search for a graduate degree in healthcare administration, then an online program may be the right fit for you.
The future is bright for MHA students, with a predicted growth rate of 28% in the next five years for healthcare managers and leaders, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Also, many healthcare systems now look to the master’s degree as a hiring requirement, so you will be prepared to meet employer and marketplace expectations.
Students will learn through a rigorous and well-rounded curriculum that prepares them for the realities and demands of the healthcare administration industry. They will study bioethics, epidemiology and population health, research methods, contemporary issues in healthcare, policy and legal and economic implications in healthcare.
In 2021, U.S. News & World Report ranked medical and health services manager careers as number four in the top 100 best jobs. And with the BLS reporting an expected 28% increase in jobs in this field over the next ten years, it’s easy to see why many healthcare workers choose to pursue an occupation in this field.
Many healthcare administrators work in an administrative or clinical role in hospitals, clinics, or private practices. They may work in an in-patient or out-patient capacity and may service or manage nursing homes or group medical facilities. The BLS reports that the median annual salary for medical and healthcare services managers is $101,340.
The master of healthcare administration degree consists of 31 total credits which can be completed in as little as 12-18 months, 100% online, and allows you the flexibility for full- and part-time enrollment.
