Data-driven Student Success
Housed in the prestigious Dr. Ezekiel R. Dumke College of Health Professions, we were the first standalone MHA program approved in Utah. Our program has had a solid foundation as an undergraduate health administration program since 1983. Carrying on the long-standing tradition of innovation and commitment to excellence, we meet healthcare leadership needs in Utah and nationally, and continue to set the standard for academic excellence.
Since its inception, 91¶ÌÊÓƵ's MHA program has been geared toward working healthcare professionals, most of whom work full time. The addition of the eMHA format in 2015 provided even more flexibility for a learning environment that benefits all students.
Each year, we measure the effectiveness of our program by student achievement, including graduation and employment rates. Of MHA students (MHA and eMHA cohorts) who graduated in 2023 91¶ÌÊÓƵ, 98% had healthcare jobs at graduation. The combined 2023 91¶ÌÊÓƵ MHA and eMHA cohort (students who entered the programs in 2021) had a 99% program completion rate.
