MHA Program Details
About Us
Flexible, student-focused and the only accredited program of its kind (online/hybrid and on campus) in New Jersey, the Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) degree program at Seton Hall University has been educating leaders in the healthcare industry for more than 25 years.

Our MHA program focuses on six key areas of study referred to as learning domains:
- Leadership in the healthcare environment
- Management for healthcare leaders and professionals
- Critical thinking and analytical skills applied to industry challenges
- Population health within the healthcare environment
- Communication for effective relationships
- Professionalism and ethics
