Message to Applicants from Diverse Populations
Diversity
The Master of Health Administration (MHA) Program seeks to attract a student body that is diverse in the educational, cultural, and economic backgrounds of its participants. We believe that such diversity nourishes each student's individual experience, and enriches the program as a whole. To this end, you may choose to supplement your application with a personal statement about your educational, cultural and economic background, and how these aspects of your personal history have shaped, hindered, or otherwise affected your intellectual development and career. Instructions for submitting a supplemental statement will be provided once you begin the online application process
