Health Care Management (MBA)

Health care is one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy. According to some estimates, health care accounted for as much as a third of new private jobs in recent times. This is especially true for Northeast Ohio which is home to some of the best health care facilities in the world.  The MBA-HC program works with these institutions to ensure that our graduates meet their needs as well as the needs of the broader community of health care professionals.
