Health Administration MHA
The Masters in Health Administration program at Saint Joseph’s University prepares future healthcare administrators to envision and lead positive change, locally, nationally and internationally. Through a set of core competencies acquired through active-learning, experiential and interpersonal learning opportunities, the program provides the skills and knowledge to optimally prepare our students to be successful health managers, with a lifelong commitment to learning, respect for diversity, ethical decision-making, and social justice.
Communication
Using appropriate technology, students will communicate effectively through written and oral modes of expression across academic, professional, and social contexts. They will also be able to demonstrate the ability to lead in team situations by motivating, inspiring, and directing others to achieve goals.
Critical Thinking and Inquiry
Students will think critically and construct reasoned arguments to support their positions using skills appropriate to the context, such as deductive reasoning, scientific inquiry, quantitative reasoning, aesthetic judgment, or critical examination of form, style, content, and meaning.
Ethics, Social Justice, and Ignatian Values
Students will assess and respond to ethical and social justice issues informed by Ignatian values and be able to generate scholarship that embodies free, open inquiry, provokes imaginative thinking and a commitment to lifelong learning, along with insistence upon ethical decision-making and care and concern for others.
Diversity
Students will respectfully engage with diverse human beliefs, abilities, experiences, identities, or cultures locally and globally.
Discipline or Program-Specific Competencies
Students will acquire the essential knowledge and skills to succeed and make well-reasoned judgments personally, professionally, and in their chosen area(s) of study.
Leadership
