About the Rutgers MHA Program

The Rutgers Master of Health Administration (MHA) offers a flexible approach that focuses on developing a range of core competencies. You’ll learn from the best too — our expert faculty includes leaders who are helping to solve real-world problems, which healthcare organizations grapple with every day. They know how to find solutions, and they bring practical knowledge into the classroom.

The MHA at the Bloustein School provides students with an interdisciplinary education focused on improving health care, health systems, and policy. While you’ll have the same rigorous training in economics, law, ethics, leadership and other disciplines that you’d get in an MBA curriculum, the Rutgers MHA is specifically tailored to the healthcare sector. Participants complete the 45-credit program at their own pace, full- or part-time.
