The UNC Charlotte Master of Health Administration (MHA) program leverages its position within the Department of Public Health Sciences of North Carolina’s Urban Research University to prepare national and international students to advance the public’s health through competent leadership and management of healthcare organizations and systems.

The mission is pursued through education, research, and service efforts that:

1. Provide qualified and motivated students from a variety of disciplines, levels of experience, and backgrounds - with a special emphasis on individuals and groups historically underrepresented in graduate education - the knowledge, skills, and abilities to become effective administrators and stewards of a dynamic health and healthcare system
2. Contribute to the body of knowledge related to the design, organization and delivery, evaluation, and leadership of health and healthcare systems
3. Apply expertise to support health leaders and the communities they serve in advancing the public’s health

This dual degree program allows students to earn both a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from the Belk College of Business and a Master of Health Administration (MHA) degree from the College of Health and Human Services.

Applicants might be offered admission into only the MHA or MBA instead of the dual program. Similarly, students admitted into the dual program may opt to matriculate into only the MHA or MBA program. Students who have matriculated into either the MHA or MBA program who desire to add the dual degree must apply and gain admission to the dual degree no later than the end of their first semester of matriculation into either program.
