What makes the program appealing to so many professionals is its structure, which enables students to gain all this new expertise without giving up their job or lifestyle. The program was created to meet the needs of busy executives and requires students to visit the UAB campus for only eight days three times each year to complete the degree in just two years.

Between the intensive campus sessions, students continue courses through online distance learning. Applicants for the Executive MSHA Program must have at least five years of health care experience. Please contact the program if you have questions regarding this experiential requirement.

Executive MSHA students graduate with more than an exceptional education. Through the specially designed capstone experience, they also gain experience applying their new knowledge and skills during visits to national and international health care organizations.
