(February 23, 2023) - In a partnership between the graduate Nursing and Master of Business Administration programs, Laurentian University has officially launched the Master of Health Administration (MHA). This unique, comprehensive, and accessible graduate program is now accepting applications for students to begin their studies in September 2023.
“The program has been designed to meet the needs not only of nurses but all other health care providers who have transitioned to leadership roles. The content encompasses all essential knowledge for health administrators in addition to having a strong rural, northern and Indigenous focus,” said Dr. Roberta Heale, Professor in the School of Nursing.
The program will be offered exclusively online and can be completed via full-time or part-time studies. Applicants will hold a baccalaureate, or graduate degree from a recognized university, and be licensed in a regulated health profession.
Students will follow a combination of courses rooted in management and health, including: Organizational Behaviour, Accountability Structures in Healthcare, Program Planning and Evaluation Strategies in Healthcare Environments. All students will also be required to complete Indigenous Cultural Competency Training as part of their studies.
This new program will support the growth and development of healthcare professionals here in Northern Ontario, as well as throughout the country.
