The Executive MBA in Healthcare Administration
The Executive MBA in Healthcare Administration (EMBA-HCA) prepares individuals for leadership positions in a wide variety of healthcare organizations. It achieves this by:
- developing executive students’ analytical and decision-making skills,
- helping them build a strong foundation in business, and
- providing them with a thorough, current knowledge of the healthcare industry.
This is an accelerated part-time program designed to be completed in 30 months. It also meets the educational requirements of The Commission on Accreditation Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). Since this program is only offered on a part-time basis, it may not be taken by international students whose visas require full-time study.
Students are registered for a total of 49.5 semester credits. This includes MBA core requirements and several required courses outside the core.
Admissions
Candidates for the EMBA-HCA program should have:
- Full-time experience in healthcare
- An undergraduate degree from an accredited university
- Appropriate quantitative skills (demonstrated via GMAT/GRE score or our in-house Admissions Test). To see if you qualify for our in-house admission test please email HCA@baruch.cuny.edu
