Healthcare Administration Concentration
The goal of the MPH Concentration in Healthcare Administration is to prepare students to become effective leaders and managers across a wide array of healthcare settings. Graduates of this program will receive the skills to optimize team and organizational performance, especially in efforts to advance health equity. Students will learn to create evidence-informed decisions by accessing: (1) the best available evidence, (2) expertise of policy and clinical experts, and (3) input from the professionals and patients impacted. Particular emphasis is provided in leading organizations with skills in cultural humility, structural competency, and community engagement so as to advance social justice and health equity. Core concepts are taught through case-based and experiential learning opportunities as well as integration in an applied practice experience. The Masters of Public Health Concentration in Healthcare Administration will prepare the next generation of healthcare leaders with the skills in healthcare management, strategic development and leadership, and systems improvement to achieve our goal for equitable access to quality healthcare.
This concentration is offered in-person at our Brooklyn campus or Manhattan extension site or synchronously online.
MPH students newly enrolled in Fall 2022 and later may select this as their MPH concentration. Students enrolled in the MPH program prior to Fall 2022 may transfer into this concentration pending departmental approval.
