Master of Health Administration Admissions

The role of health care is changing in the United States, and with it, the responsibilities of health care administrators. The need for qualified professionals has never been greater: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be a 25 percent increase in health care administration jobs by 2031. We welcome your application to the Master of Health Administration program, where you will be equipped with the tools to succeed in this growing field.

To be eligible for admission consideration, you must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution of higher learning. We do not require a particular major, though we do require a minimum GPA of 3.0. We do not need GRE or GMAT scores. Admission to the program is very competitive and considers a range of factors attesting to your professional preparedness. The baccalaureate and GPA requirements, in themselves, do not guarantee admission.   

In addition, you must provide the following:

  • A completed application
  • Current curriculum vitae or resume
  • Transcripts for all programs from where a college degree was earned
  • The name and email of one professional willing to assess, in a letter of recommendation, your ability to succeed in an advanced degree study in health care management
  • Personal statement (maximum 500 words) clearly explaining your motivation for attaining this degree and desired outcomes from the program
  • GRE or GMAT scores may be submitted as additional evidence of preparedness for rigorous graduate education, but are not required for admission
