Master of Business Administration—Healthcare Management
Managers in the nation's rapidly changing healthcare industry continue to have great opportunities for substantial career and salary advancement. WGU's online MBA in Healthcare Management offers you a classic MBA education with the added benefits of specialized training in healthcare administration and management.
WGU's MBA program is different from other MBA programs in several important (and advantageous) ways. Those with existing competencies can use the knowledge and skills they already possess to accelerate the time to completion and earn their degree in less time, for less money. Plus, the online, mentored approach allows you to incorporate a rigorous online MBA program into your already busy schedule. Finally, upon completion of the program, you will be eligible for your Certified MBA ® (CMBA) designation–a nationally recognized acknowledgement of business knowledge competence.
