Student Profile
 

Approximately 30 students are accepted each calendar year into the health administration program, ensuring individual access to professors and advisers. Health administration class sizes average 20 students, while core MBA class sizes average 35 students. Students are able to gain valuable work experience, part time or full time, in the booming Atlanta healthcare market place while completing the degree requirements.

The average age of each entering class is approximately 26 years. Approximately a third of our students enter the program directly after their undergraduate education, and another third enter with more than five years of healthcare experience in leadership roles. The remaining students possess a variety of experience outside the healthcare field. Our students come from undergraduate college and university programs across the United States with majors in everything from business and nursing to anthropology and history.

The Institute has been highly successful in producing qualified healthcare professionals, boasting a near 100-percent employment rate prior to graduation. While most graduates begin their careers in middle management, the majority eventually progress to senior management positions.


Student Activities

The Institute has a very active Student Chapter of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). The chapter organizes educational, social, and service events.

Several dinner lectures are sponsored each semester, bringing in representatives of healthcare organizations from a wide variety of areas. These executives give the students real world insight into current issues facing the industry. In addition, panel discussions have been organized around such topics as "Healthcare Consulting as a Career" to "Issues Facing Women Executives in Healthcare."

The student chapter participates in many community service activities and fundraisers
