Master of Health Administration is taught at the Vancouver campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University, a Designated Learning Institution with the number O19227134842.

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.
