he Department of Health Services Policy and Management, at the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health, offers a MHA Degree in a professional format mode. Our MHA Program is fully accredited by Commission on Accreditation of Health Management Education (formerly called ACEHSA). This is an opportunity for physicians, healthcare executives, nurses, clinical managers and directors, and other health care professionals to obtain an accredited master's degree in health administration while continuing full-time careers. (For those located in Columbia, SC, whose work schedule permits on-campus class attendance, our regular, on-campus MHA program with part time enrollment may meet their needs.)
Course Format: The professional format allows you to complete coursework though state-of-the-art distance technology. It allows excellent opportunities to interact with faculty, while minimizing on-campus time. Instruction features include:
-
Video streams of live on-campus lectures that can be viewed at your convenience
-
Asynchronous web-based interactive instruction
-
One campus visit per semester
-
Complete coursework, part-time
This website provides additional information about our MHA Professional Format Program, and will be updated regularly.
