Program overview
A sixteen to twenty four month master degree in health systems management with an optional internship, covering health policy, healthcare finance, quality improvement, operations and a project.
Master of Health Administration is recorded at USD 19,440, above the USD 17,175 the administrative studies masters charge, and its length is flexible at sixteen to twenty four months depending on your route through it. Confirm the length before you plan a work permit around it.
Master of Health Administration is taught at the Vancouver campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University, a Designated Learning Institution with the number O19227134842. This matters more than it may appear. Because Master of Health Administration is a degree rather than a college diploma or certificate, it is exempt from the federal field of study requirement introduced in November 2024, which restricts post-graduation work permits after non-degree programmes. Subject does not matter for a degree. A British Columbia provincial attestation letter is still required alongside the Master of Health Administration study permit application.
