Overview

The MHA competency model was developed from the healthcare leadership competencies identified by the American College of Health Care Executives and other professional organizations (National Center of Healthcare Leadership) to help ensure that the applied-based curriculum aligns with the mission.

The MHA competency model consists of five domains:

Health sector knowledge

Communication and interpersonal effectiveness;

Critical thinking, analysis, and problem-solving;

Leadership and management;

Professionalism and ethics.

Residential In-Person MHA Program

The CAHME-accredited, in-person Health Administration (MHA) program at Hofstra University combines traditional study with field-based experience to give you contextual and practical strategies to apply to your current organization. Most courses are taught by health service practitioners and leaders who offer networking and learning opportunities to encourage your professional growth.

You’ll be assigned a faculty advisor who will help you schedule your courses around your current schedule. The program can be completed in two years, and you can choose between part-time and full-time, and switch between the two options as needed.

Online MHA Program

The online MHA program utilizes an asynchronous learning approach so that have the flexibility to access and complete weekly modules and assignments from any location and at your preferred time. Program faculty provide weekly learning material (including recorded lectures, readings, and activities) for you to complete and are always available to give feedback and guidance on content.

Complete your assignments on your own time and engage in interactive activities with peers. With this online curriculum, you have the flexibility to learn wherever and whenever.
