A number of well-regarded universities and colleges offer Master of Health Administration degrees partially online. Many of these degree courses are designed for working professionals. You can work on the degree full-time or at a pace that fits your schedule. The important thing to look for when choosing your degree program is the right accreditation. The U.S. Department of Education has recognized the Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) as the sole source of authority on MHA programs (http://www.cahme.org/Background.html). The University of North Carolina's online MHA is typical of online programs accredited by the CAHME. The coursework is offered online, but you must also make three, week-long visits to the UNC campus for high-powered Effective Executive workshops. These highly interactive weeks stress strategic and creative thinking, teamwork and leadership, and hands-on project management.

Paying for an online master's degree in health administration:

Funding your master's degree can be a challenge. If you are already working, check to see if your employer has a grant program or earn to learn program. Some large hospital organizations offer scholarships and other financial aid to qualified employees. Another place to look for tuition assistance is with the college you are considering attending. Some scholarships are university-specific. Some schools have funded fellowships and work/study programs. Now is also the time to get involved with professional organizations, if you haven't already. Most associations offer student memberships at a discounted rate. Some offer scholarships and networking benefits. Organizations offering scholarships include the American College of Healthcare Executives (http://www.ache.org/), the Association of University Programs in Health Administration (http://www.aupha.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3353), the American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management (http://www.AAHAM.org). Also not to be missed is the honor society Upsilon Phi Delta (http://www.aupha.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3563), which is the part of the Association of University Programs in Health Administration that recognizes academic achievement in the field. Scholarships are just the beginning of the value these organizations provide you as a student and through your career. Lifelong continuing education and networking opportunities abound.
