Overview

Students can earn their MHA online or at our Washington, D.C. and Virginia campuses. The Master of Healthcare Administration degree supports the mission of University of the Potomac-VA Campus supports students in establishing an academic pathway that best satisfies their needs and relates these needs to their course of study as well as their professional healthcare goals.

The University’s emphasis on theory combined with the practical application of that theory creates a perfect environment to prepare students to progress in the world of work. Students also have the option to pursue an MBA with a concentration in Healthcare Administration.

While many similar topics are covered in both degrees, the MHA degree will provide more healthcare focus and is probably a better fit for students focused on a healthcare administration career path.
