MASTER OF HEALTH ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM The University of Missouri’s nationally ranked Master of Health Administration Program is located in the School of Medicine, which is recognized for its excellence in research and is ranked as one of the top 10 in the nation in primary care. The University of Missouri (MU), established in 1839, is the oldest state university west of the Mississippi River. MU is one of the most comprehensive and diverse universities in the United States. As a member of the Association of American Universities and a university classified “Research I” by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, MU is a premier research institution and provider of professional education. The Department of Health Management and Informatics combines health services management and health informatics, one of the few programs in the country to do so. Our mission is to develop, translate, and disseminate knowledge for innovative and evidence-based solutions to improve clinical, operational, and financial performance in complex health systems. The Master of Health Administration Program is competency-based and distinctively equips graduates for success through (a) providing solid grounding in professional and operational knowledge and skills, (b) integrating health informatics throughout the health services management curriculum, and (c) incorporating overarching complex systems context and analytical approaches. The residential and executive master’s degrees launch and advance patient-centered, improvement-oriented, financially-responsible, and ethically-grounded careers in evidence-based health services management. The MHA Program has been continuously accredited since 1968 by the Accrediting Commission on Education for Health Services Administration (ACEHSA), now the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). The program admits diverse cohorts of students from Missouri, other states, and around the world. Whereas the residential master’s degree format is a traditional on-campus residential program, the executive master’s degree is offered in a hybrid model featuring both oncampus and distance learning. The emphasis In both residential and executive formats is on fostering an individualized and collaborative culture of learning, mentoring, and professional development among students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other practitioners in order to prepare and enable transformational leadership in improving patient care quality, safety, value, and overall level of population health. Primary post-graduation placement organizations include health systems, hospitals, academic medical centers, physician group practices, surgery centers, information technology companies, consulting firms, government agencies, insurance entities, and other points of health services delivery. Management Internships (residential students) During the summer between the first and second year of the program, students complete a 12-week internship in an approved health organization under the guidance of a highly qualified and motivated preceptor. Internships allow students to apply knowledge and develop the skill sets necessary for becoming successful health industry professionals. Student interns usually are paid a monthly stipend by the host organization. Executive Management Study (residential students) During the second year of the program, student teams work with client organizations to conduct a two-semester operations management and improvement consulting project that culminates with a final report and set of actionable recommendations.

EXECUTIVE MASTER OF HEALTH ADMINISTRATION Preparing Today’s Health Care Professionals For Tomorrow’s Challenges The management of complex health organizations is among the most difficult assignments in American society today. Increasingly, the effectiveness of leaders in these organizations is determined by their ability to integrate clinical and managerial competencies. The Executive MHA Program in Health Services Management is designed to help meet the growing demand for health professionals with high-quality management training. The program prepares practicing professionals for executive management positions across the full spectrum of health care settings. Candidates for the program, which leads to a Master of Health Administration (MHA) degree, include physicians, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, department managers, and other health care professionals with at least three years of clinical or administrative experience. The format enables working professionals to maintain full-time employment while completing the two-year course of study. The program is one of only a few executive programs accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME).

Students participate in innovative distance learning activities using online discussion forums, e-mail, and MU online library resources to complement classroom meetings to create a seamless learning experience. The integration of information technology into the curriculum allows professionals from throughout North America to participate in the program and prepares them to respond to technological changes in the health care industry.
