Why the Master in Health Leadership
The program’s unique approach enables people in the health professions to maintain their position in their organization during the entire program, returning to work between modules. Our unique pedagogy rests on the application to practice, in real-time, of concepts, theories, and frameworks delivered in the classroom. In addition, all of our content and programming are focused on the management and leadership of healthcare organizations. The MHL believes that the greatest hope for the improvement of health lies in a deep understanding of how the entire health field works, coupled with a sophisticated appreciation of its management.
Benefits for Participants
The MHL pedagogy allows that the learning be applied in real-time, between classroom modules, so that managerial practices can be developed and improved during the course of the program. The MHL is designed to act as a catalyst for change in participants’ organizations and communities.
The program encourages participants to share their experiences, delving into each other’s issues to provide innovative solutions to the challenges they face in their respective work environments. Our participants report increased confidence in undertaking challenges they previously found daunting. Our innovative educational activities give our experienced participants the opportunity to be the initiators of change within their organization and their community. The written work during the course of the program can be presented at conferences.
Benefits for the Health Sector
A key principle of the program is “use work, don’t make work”. Participants bring their actual work challenges to the program, rather than using more traditional organizational case studies. Throughout the program, we encourage the application to the practice of the concepts, theories, and frameworks used in the classroom. In many organizations, our participants form teams so that the learning can be shared in the context of embracing challenges. The MHL is an ongoing forum that addresses and advances issues of healthcare worldwide.

The Department expects each doctoral candidate to be conversant in the field of psychology as well as an expert in his or her specialty area. All students entering with a baccalaureate degree are required to take three quantitative courses and three core courses in areas outside their specialty area. These courses may be chosen from a group of courses designed to provide graduate-level introductions in a variety of specialty areas. The remaining time is devoted to research and coursework required by the student’s specialty area as well as coursework chosen by the student in consultation with his or her advisor on the basis of the student’s interests.
Sometime in the third or fourth year of the program, students take Comprehensive Examinations. The nature of this exam varies by specialty area. Admission to doctoral candidacy requires successful completion of the comprehensive examination, completion of certain course requirements, and the recommendation of the specialty area. After being admitted to candidacy, students begin formally to work on dissertations. The Ph.D. degree requires 12 hours of dissertation credits. Students in the Clinical and Counseling areas also complete an APA-required pre-doctoral internship prior to receiving the Ph.D.
