Health Administration, MHA General

The MHA program is not currently enrolling new students.

Students enrolled in the MHA General program will take a total of 37 credit hours—22 credit hours of required core courses as well as 15 credit hours of elective courses. Of the 15 credit hours of elective courses, only 6 credit hours from the specialty tracks can be accepted for credit in the general track.  

Students may choose a traditional learning pathway that requires 6 credit hours per trimester (7 credit hours in Trimester 5) or an accelerated learning pathway that requires 9 credit hours per trimester (10 credit hours in Trimester 5). While USAHS does not offer Title IV financial aid for any term in which an accelerated learning course is taken without a full term “anchor” course, other financing alternatives may be available. Please refer to the Financial Aid Office for additional information.
