Franklin University, a leading educator of working adults, is pleased to announce the addition of three new specializations within its Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) degree program. Today’s announcement continues to add to the University’s reputation as Ohio’s #1 nonprofit university for online degrees, offering relevant degrees and specializations aligned with a student’s specific career interest.

Uniquely designed for the busy professional, Franklin’s online MHA degree courses are formed with the emerging trends and best practices of the contemporary healthcare environment, providing a tailored education in the following disciplines:

MHA-Human Resources Specialization: Building growth-minded hospital systems and healthcare organizations toward talent and business success.

MHA-Operational Excellence Specialization: Leading strategic, systematic initiatives that positively impact the clinical and business sides of healthcare.

MHA-Organizational Leadership Specialization: Shaping the future of healthcare through organizational change initiatives and evidence-based decision-making that improves quality, effectiveness, commitment and competitiveness.

Students in Franklin’s online accredited MHA program benefit from the expertise and experience of an industry-specific Advisory Board, overseeing the relevant curriculum within the University’s MHA programs. Input from board members like the hospital president and COO of Mt. Carmel East Hospital, a medical association CEO, an SVP at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, and the president of Grady Memorial Hospitals inject industry-specific learnings into its classes and coursework. With its new specializations, the University’s MHA program is designed to help students become effective leaders with immersion to showcase proven readiness and performance that fit their interests and career passions.

Through the University’s MHA major course areas, students learn the theoretical and practical application skills needed to prepare for a role in healthcare administration to help improve the quality of life in our communities. This program develops healthcare-specific competencies in the following areas: leadership and strategy, operations management, law and policy, accounting and finance, and management, preparing learners to hold career titles such as managed care director, director of admitting, hospital COO, director of hospital operations, and managed care analyst.

Built for working adults, Franklin University’s MHA classes are 100% online, and can be completed in as few as 14 months, with no GMAT/GRE required, and are designed by and for healthcare leaders to align with students’ career interests and aspirations. With a seamless admissions process and flexible course schedule, Franklin helps students balance education, with work, family, and life.
