New 2024-2025 Health Administration Program Annual Report

December 19, 2025

Dear Colleagues,

This year’s milestone is the successful launch of our Doctor of Health Administration (DHA) program in Fall 2025, welcoming an inaugural cohort of 23 mid- and senior-level healthcare leaders. Designed in an executive-style format, the DHA advances practice-based doctoral training in leadership, strategy, analytics, and implementation—while allowing participants to remain fully engaged in their organizations.

The Master of Health Administration (MHA) program continues to move forward through applied, practice-informed learning, leadership development, and strong engagement with employers and alumni—preparing graduates for administrative fellowships and early-career leadership roles across a wide range of healthcare organizations. Our undergraduate program also continues to advance through experiential learning, internships, and close collaboration with practitioners and alumni.

Wishing you and your families a happy holiday season and a healthy, prosperous New Year.
