Walden University Offers New Master of Healthcare Administration (M.H.A.)
Program

MINNEAPOLIS, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Health care is one of the
fastest-growing -- and most essential -- industries in the United States and
around the world, and the increasing complexity and consolidation of the
industry has created the need for administrators with specialized, targeted
management skills across the spectrum of health care delivery organizations.
To meet these demands, Walden University now offers a Master of Healthcare
Administration (M.H.A.) program to prepare managers and administrators for
leadership roles in hospitals and other health care organizations.
"Walden's M.H.A. program has been designed and developed by some of the
leading experts in U.S. health care delivery systems, with an emphasis on
offering the most current, relevant curriculum that is fully aligned with best
practices and recognized health care management content areas," said Gary J.
Burkholder, Ph.D., vice president of Walden's College of Health Sciences
One of only a few online programs of its kind, Walden's M.H.A. offers
students a high quality, comprehensive, yet flexible, program that also
addresses key competencies such as financial and resource management, health
information technology and legal, ethical and regulatory practices. In
addition, Walden's M.H.A. offers real-world experience through the capstone
and practicum requirements. The program's courses have been developed by a
team of content experts, media designers and instructional designers to ensure
relevance, timeliness, educational soundness and academic integrity based on
the most recent developments of the health care environment.
By the conclusion of the program, students will be able to effectively and
ethically manage health care organizations and make leadership decisions due
to their analytical, statistical reasoning, technology and interpersonal
skills. Through the M.H.A. program, students are also provided an in-depth
understanding of the health care delivery system in the United States, the
health care needs of consumers, the management of health care organizations
and the various factors that affect the industry. Specific emphasis is placed
on providing an understanding of clinical service delivery through analysis of
the day-to-day operations in clinical support service activities.
An accredited university, Walden is recognized as one of the leading
providers of health education online, with the No.1-ranked public health and
No. 2-ranked nursing online graduate programs by enrollment, according to U.S.
