An independent directory of US healthcare administration degrees
Healthcare administration degrees that US colleges and universities offer online — bachelor's, master's and MHA, doctoral, and separately labelled healthcare MBA programs. “Online” describes how coursework is delivered; it does not tell you whether you must visit campus or complete an internship. Every listing shows campus attendance and practical training separately, as the university states them. Hybrid programs with substantial on-campus coursework are not listed here; find them on the program search.

Coursework delivery
Whether classes are taught online, on campus or in a hybrid format. An online program can be asynchronous, scheduled live, or both.
Campus attendance
Many online MHA and DHA programs require on-campus residencies, immersions or orientations. “No required campus visits” appears only when the university states it; otherwise each required visit is listed, or the program shows the requirement as not published.
Practical experience
An administrative residency, internship or practicum happens at a hospital or health organization, not on campus. Program pages show published hours, who arranges the placement and whether it can be done near home.

Universities publish online tuition per credit, per term or for the whole program, and often separately for residents and nonresidents. We estimate total tuition only where a program publishes both a per-credit rate and its required credits (or a whole-program figure), using the rate that applies to all students or, when rates differ, the nonresident rate. Fees and residency travel are excluded. 51 of 64 online master's programs publish enough to be compared; the full method is on the affordable online MHA page.

A Master of Health Administration (and an MS in Healthcare Administration or Management) is a dedicated healthcare management degree. A healthcare MBA is a Master of Business Administration with a healthcare concentration: its core is general business, and the awarded degree is the MBA. We keep them apart — MBA pathways appear on the online healthcare MBA page, not in the MHA results.
CAHME accredits specific graduate programs. An online MHA is CAHME-accredited only when the online program itself is covered — the campus program's accreditation does not transfer automatically. 40 online master's programs have a verified CAHME record in our directory. CAHME-accredited programs
An online program listed under a state is offered by a school based in that state. That does not limit enrollment to residents, and it does not guarantee that every resident can enroll: institutions must be authorized to enroll online students in each state, and some publish states they cannot accept. Where a university publishes these restrictions, the program page shows them; use the enrollment-restrictions filter to find them.
International students: online study generally does not lead to a US student visa. Programs that publish whether international students may enroll show it on their page.
