General Information
The M.H.A. program is offered by the School of Population and Public Health / Faculty of Medicine, in collaboration with the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration.
The M.H.A. curriculum provides the educational and professional foundations for leadership in the health services field. It emphasizes analytical thinking and aims to provide graduates who are skilled professionals with in-depth applied administrative research tools. Graduates are expected to be capable of identifying and solving complex organizational and assessment problems in the health services sector.
The M.H.A. has a professional executive focus and is taught in modular (1.5 credit) format: Friday afternoon through to Sunday afternoon, approximately one weekend per month. The full program takes two calendar years to complete. All 24 courses are required, in addition to a 6-credit major Research Project (SPHA 590). The program is cohort-based and delivered at UBC Robson Square, and is therefore not available as a distance education or online option.
Applications for admission to the M.H.A. program will be evaluated based on a combination of academic achievement, GMAT/GRE results, or a similar standardized test (MCAT, LSAT, PCAT) or a grade of B+ or higher in an undergraduate statistics or mathematics course, and/or relevant work experience.
