Degree Plans in Healthcare Administration
Today's healthcare leaders must be able to lead and manage complex organizations with a servant's heart, a commitment to their communities and strong business acumen.
The Robbins Healthcare MBA combines the quantitative strengths of an MBA degree with a specialized curriculum focused on the healthcare industry.
Baylor offers Three Program Tracks in Healthcare Administration:
Administrative Residency Track
The Administrative Residency Track (ART) is designed for students who want to pursue an administrative career in health industry organizations.
The ART includes a paid, 9-month administrative residency where students complete rotations and work through high-level projects at the senior executive level in a progressive healthcare organization.

By earning an MBA via the ART, you will be prepared to manage healthcare organizations, including:
