The UW Master of Health Administration program prepares principled leaders who drive innovation, equity, and excellence in healthcare delivery.
Because our MHA program is full-time and in-person with an optional summer internship, most students do not work full-time during the program. They are early-career professionals with an average of three years of experience.
For decades, the UW MHA program has been a national leader in health administration training. It’s consistently ranked among the top MHA programs in the United States by U.S. News & World Report, and is housed in the highly-ranked and nationally-respected School of Public Health.
