Program Details
Learn multidisciplinary, data-driven leadership skills with Walden University’s Doctor of Healthcare Administration degree online. Combining theory and research, students will learn how to become effective healthcare leaders and problem solvers.
The curriculum teaches students how to effectively use communication and public relations, make data-driven executive decisions, and carry out practice-based research. Graduates can pursue leadership roles in facilities such as hospitals, mental health organizations, hospices, public health departments, and research institutions.
