Mission
We aim to provide a powerful, innovative, and enduring learning experience for you, so you can effectively lead healthcare organizations that promote compassion, quality, and value.
Objectives
Whether you want to advance your career in healthcare or break into the field for the first time, we nurture your potential. You’ll be challenged with innovative curriculum and hands-on learning. You’ll develop the analytic and strategic skills needed to transform organizations, build relationships, and strengthen organizational performance.
Vision
We are working to become the pre-eminent graduate programs in healthcare administration in the Northeastern United States, serving a diverse range of students from our region and around the world who are committed to their professional development and to being change agents to improve the healthcare delivery system and the health of the population. Our Healthcare Programs will take graduate education to new levels of performance and creativity by providing inspiring and innovative learning experiences in classrooms and in healthcare organizations.
