An independent directory of US healthcare administration degrees
Editorial selections
Editorial selections, each answering a different question — which schools, which MHA programs, which online MHA programs, which bachelor's and doctoral programs. Every selection is built from verified facts on the programs' own pages and accreditors' records against published criteria, listed alphabetically and never sold. Pick the list that matches your decision, then compare the programs side by side.
28 schools selected of 71 considered · reviewed October 12, 2026
Use it if: You are choosing a school and want one with verified healthcare administration degrees at more than one level, not a single program.
Schools with verified, eligible healthcare administration degrees (dedicated or joint) at two or more levels. MBA and MPH pathways and other named concentrations do not count toward a school's inclusion.
18 programs selected of 158 considered · reviewed October 12, 2026
Use it if: You want an MHA or healthcare administration master's in any format, with verified CAHME accreditation, an administrative residency, internship or capstone, published costs and clear admissions.
Dedicated master's degrees in healthcare administration or management (MHA, MS, MSHA and equivalent awards, standard or executive) and joint degrees that include one. Healthcare MBA and MPH pathways are assessed separately and are not eligible for this list.
5 programs selected of 64 considered · reviewed October 12, 2026
Use it if: You need to study online and want programs that state their campus-visit rules, practical requirements, costs and admissions clearly.
Dedicated and joint healthcare administration master's degrees whose coursework is delivered online, with or without required campus visits. Hybrid programs with substantial in-person coursework, and MBA/MPH pathways, are not eligible.
15 programs selected of 55 considered · reviewed October 12, 2026
Use it if: You are choosing an undergraduate major and want a documented curriculum with an internship, practicum or capstone.
Bachelor's degrees whose major is healthcare administration or management (BS, BA, BBA, BAS and equivalent awards). Degrees with only a healthcare concentration are not eligible.
14 programs selected of 20 considered · reviewed October 12, 2026
Use it if: You are considering a DHA or PhD and want a documented dissertation or applied doctoral project, structure and admissions.
Doctoral degrees whose official title names health(care) administration, health services administration or healthcare management, research or professional.
5 programs selected of 22 considered · reviewed October 12, 2026
Use it if: You prefer an MBA with a healthcare pathway to an MHA and want the pathway's curriculum, costs and admissions documented.
Master of Business Administration programs with an officially named healthcare pathway (concentration, specialization or track).
The directory pages (for example all master's programs) list every eligible program we have verified, alphabetically, so you can filter by state, format, campus attendance, accreditation, cost or GRE policy. The selections apply an editorial bar on top: a program appears only when its own official pages document the features the criteria ask for. Each entry explains why it was selected, its strengths and limitations, the applicants it suits, and the evidence behind each criterion.
No acceptance rates, salaries, job-placement or graduation rates, reputation surveys or institutional rankings — we have not verified comparable figures for these programs. A university's prestige in medicine or other fields does not carry over to its healthcare administration programs.
Searches for the best or top healthcare administration schools and MHA programs land here. There is one selection per question — not separate “best” and “top” lists with different titles and the same content.
