Program Overview
Prepare to become a critical thinker and innovative leader who can execute changes in the healthcare system for the improved well-being of both individuals and society. Our online MBA in healthcare management offers evidence-based business management skills development for healthcare professionals—at any stage of their career—who aspire to a high-level leadership role.
The program features a core MBA curriculum that can be applied across industries as well as a healthcare management concentration that accounts for approximately 40 percent of the program’s credits. Our healthcare-focused curriculum builds on our long standing relationships with four nationally recognized Cleveland-based healthcare institutions—Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, MetroHealth, and the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center—as well as healthcare expertise found all across the Case Western Reserve University campus. These span the whole range of differing approaches to providing care to diverse populations—from traditional university-based academic medical providers to group practice-centered organizations to federal and essential hospital providers.
Experience top-quality, high-contact teaching from award-winning faculty and learn how to lead your organization by guiding new systems, optimizing processes, responding to disruption and inspiring effective behaviors.
