The goal of the program in the Division of Health Policy and Administration

public health departments, consulting and pharmaceutical companies,
as well as federal, state, and local government agencies). Students
enrolled in the Masters program within HPA

Teaching objectives of the division include:
- Provide students with a set of skills and principles essential
for practice in health policy, health management, and public health.
- Enhance students' abilities to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency
and equity of health policies and programs, using rigorous research
techniques and analytical reasoning.
- Provide opportunities for students to apply their newly developed
skills and reasoning abilities to real-life health policy and
health management problems, through community project experiences,
the summer internship, and the thesis.
- Educate students about the breadth and determinants of health and how to affect them through policy.
