Programs and Services
Our Mission: The Baruch/Mt.Sinai Graduate MBA Program in Health Care Administration is dedicated to the graduate business education of practicing professionals in the health care industry. The Program seeks to advance student knowledge in essential business disciplines and to instruct students in the application of this knowledge to managerial issues in health care. Graduates will exhibit the flexibility required to cope with the rapidly changing health care environment and be able to function effectively in a wide range of settings and organizational forms. It is expected that Program graduates will attain senior positions within the field and will work in a wide range of health care organizations that reflect the diversity of the field and the diversity of populations to be served.
Why an MBA and not an MPH or MPA in Health Care?

Health Care institutions, both profit and not-for-profit, are under enormous pressure to contain costs and improve the quality of services and products. Of the three degrees, the MBA provides the most rigorous and in depth study of managerial science. Our MBA Program in Health Care Administration first builds competency in the standard MBA core disciplines. We then show students how to apply this knowledge to the particulars of the health care industry. Our students graduate with the intellectual foundation necessary to take on the managerial challenges facing the health care industry today and tomorrow.

All classes are held at Baruch College in our new state of the art Vertical Campus, located at 1 Bernard Baruch Way, in Manhattan located on the corner of 25th Street and Lexington Avenue.
