University's health care MBA gets high marks

Published

The University of Louisiana at 69传媒 has one of the best master鈥檚 in health administration degrees in the United States, a new report shows.

Public Health Online has ranked UL 69传媒鈥檚 MBA with a concentration in health care administration as No. 43 for 2015-16.

It noted that UL 69传媒鈥檚 program is delivered through evening courses to accommodate the schedules of professionals who are already working in the health care field.

The program鈥檚 curriculum integrates total quality management concepts, ethical considerations, international dimensions, and technological applications, as well as involvement with the business community.

Public Health Online evaluated only four-year degree-granting institutions. It considered:

  • in-state tuition,
  • the number of concentrations and programs available in the subject,
  • academic and career counseling services,
  • job placement services for graduates, and
  • its own "peer-based value."

That peer-based value is described on Public Health Online鈥檚 website as a metric that 鈥渃ompares the quality score of a program to the scores of other programs with similar costs. In turn, it also compares the cost of a program to the costs of others with similar quality scores. In short, PBV illustrates the cost/quality value of an online MPH program.鈥
