How listings are researched

  1. 1. Confirm the degree

    Candidates come from IPEDS, CAHME's and AUPHA's published lists and university catalogs. We confirm the exact award and whether it is a dedicated degree or a named pathway.

  2. 2. Quote the source

    Every fact — format, campus visits, residency, credits, tuition, deadlines, accreditation — is recorded with the official page and a verbatim quote.

  3. 3. Re-check it live

    A script re-fetches each page and finds the quote before anything is published. 1,457 fact groups are live today.

  4. 4. Show what's missing

    Unpublished information stays “Not verified”. Missing GRE information never means “no GRE”, and missing tuition never means free.

Questions about this directory

Which degrees does this directory include?
Bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees whose awarded degree or official major is healthcare administration or management (MHA, MS in Healthcare Management, BS in Health Administration, DHA, PhD in Health Services Administration…) and official joint degrees that include one. MBA programs with a named healthcare pathway, MPH programs with a named health policy and management pathway and other named concentrations are listed separately and labelled. Nursing degrees, certificates, associate degrees and medical billing or office programs are not listed.
Is an MBA in Healthcare Management the same as an MHA?
No. A Master of Health Administration is a dedicated healthcare management degree; a healthcare MBA is a Master of Business Administration with a healthcare concentration. We show the exact awarded degree on every program and keep MBA pathways on their own pages.
What does CAHME accreditation mean here?
CAHME accredits specific graduate healthcare management programs. We record it program by program — never for a whole university — and show candidacy and probation as published. AUPHA certification applies to undergraduate programs and is described as certification, not accreditation.
How are the “Best” lists made?
They are editorial selections against published criteria — programmatic accreditation for MHA lists, documented curriculum, residency or internship, published structure, cost transparency, admissions clarity and attendance rules for online programs — each backed by verified evidence. They are listed alphabetically, never sold, and do not use salaries, acceptance rates or reputation surveys.
Where does the information come from?
From each university's own program, catalog, admissions, tuition and funding pages, CAHME's and AUPHA's published records, IPEDS and the U.S. Department of Education's accreditation database (DAPIP). Every fact links to its source; a quote that cannot be found on the live page is never published.
