MSU named to 50 Most Affordable Healthcare MBA rankings

Morehead State University’s Master of Business Administration with Health Systems Management concentration has been named one of the “50 Most Affordable Healthcare MBA Degree Programs 2015,” by MBA Healthcare Management.

According to the website, “the United States is in the middle of a 10 year boom in health care job creation and the time has never been better to earn an affordable MBA in healthcare management. As the U.S. population continues to age, it’s no surprise that six out of 10 of the fastest growing jobs right now are in the healthcare industry.

Healthcare administration is a popular field because it sets healthcare professionals up for success in a medical industry that’s worth more than $2.26 trillion. Specializing your Master of Business Administration degree in healthcare management will allow a student to build leadership skills and work experience specifically for managerial roles in health-related facilities.

As employment in healthcare management grows much faster than average, MBA graduates are in high demand to apply their advanced business knowledge in coordinating clinical services. We know that tuition can be overwhelming, so we’ve created the following article to highlight affordable MBA in healthcare administration degrees that cost less than $11,000 each year.”

MBA Healthcare Management turned to the National Center for Education Statistics’ College Navigator to generate its list. First, it filtered all post-secondary schools in America that offer advanced degrees in healthcare management and/or hospital administration. Then narrowed it down to universities providing an MBA and sorted the 144 healthcare MBA programs based on their in-state graduate tuition rates and only kept the cheapest. Finally, they ranked the 50 remaining MBA in healthcare management programs from highest to lowest average tuition price.

The goal of MSU is to expand its role in health sciences and health systems management. The healthcare industry serves as a major employer, both in Morehead and in communities served by MSU’s regional campuses. In response to the rapidly changing healthcare needs of the region, the College of Business and Technology offers the MBA with the concentration in Health Systems Management.
