From Possibility to Purpose: Discover the MHA

What if your career could reflect both your strengths and your calling?

 

Whether you're driven by strategy, systems, service — or all three — the healthcare field offers space for leaders from every background.

The Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) is a graduate degree that opens doors to purpose-filled leadership in one of the most vital industries today.

 


What Is an MHA?

An MHA focuses on the business, strategy, and operational side of healthcare. It’s not a clinical degree, but it’s every bit as essential. If you’ve ever imagined running a hospital, leading a nonprofit, directing public health efforts, or guiding innovation in health tech, an MHA can help make that possible.

 


Who Is It For?

The MHA welcomes people with a wide range of talents and career goals, including:

  • Strategic thinkers who want to improve how care is delivered
  • People-first leaders are ready to serve communities on a bigger scale
  • Professionals in business, education, or public service looking to grow
  • Healthcare workers transitioning into leadership roles
  • Graduates or career starters seeking a mission-driven future

If you have the drive to lead and a passion to make a difference, you’re already on the right track.

 


Why Healthcare, Why Now?

Healthcare is growing—and changing fast. The industry needs adaptable, informed leaders who can guide systems through technology shifts, policy reform, and rising patient needs. These roles aren’t just in hospitals. They’re in city governments, advocacy organizations, insurance companies, startups, and beyond.

 


The Demand Is Real

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare administration roles are expected to grow 29% between 2023 and 2033 — far faster than the average for most professions. There’s never been a more important time—or a more promising path—for future-minded leaders to step up. An MHA doesn’t just prepare you for a job. It prepares you to lead with purpose—wherever your passion takes you. As the industry evolves, organizations are seeking professionals who possess both strategic thinking and a passion for service. The MHA equips graduates to step confidently into roles that drive meaningful change.

 

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)
