Widely regarded as one of the top executive healthcare leadership programs in the United States, the Executive Master of Healthcare Administration program in UNC's School of Public Health develops the skills and knowledge necessary for graduates to be members of the core executive team at for-profit, not-for-profit, or governmental health organizations. The program combines expert faculty, comprehensive curriculum, and sophisticated technology to offer an MHA distance learning program that is designed for working professionals. The curriculum includes course sequences in public health, systems operations, and financial and strategic management.

Using special client-server software, students access individual Web sites and all courses. Course delivery is enhanced by various interactive, Internet-based learning applications, including live video, audio, recorded class proceedings and data sharing.
