Master of Health Administration (MHA) Plan of Study

Lead with confidence in a health system defined by rapid change, increasing complexity and rising expectations for value and equity.

Grounded in a curriculum that blends policy, analytics, strategy and organizational leadership, Drexel University’s Master of Health Administration program program equips emerging and experienced professionals to navigate the forces shaping today’s healthcare environment.

Note: In Fall 2027, Drexel University will transition from a quarter-based academic calendar to semesters as part of its broader Academic Transformation.

  • Spring 2027: Students will begin under the quarter-based calendar and 2026-27 academic requirements before moving to semesters. Students will receive program-specific guidance and support throughout the transition.
  • Fall 2027 and Later: Students will follow Drexel’s new semester calendar and updated program requirements. Explore the 2027-28 course catalog preview.
