MBA/MSL
The primary focus of most existing MBA programs is to deliver an overall understanding of the key functional areas of an organization with a heavy emphasis on systems and quantitative approaches. As such, most MBA programs do not provide an adequate understanding of human behavior or the leadership that drives an organization.

MHA/MBA
This program is intended primarily for clinicians and healthcare managers whose career paths require advanced competencies in both quantitative and qualitative aspects of management. The program is of significant benefit to persons who have worked in healthcare for at least five years. Individual arrangements may be developed for persons with less tenure in the health sector.
