The Master of Health Administration (MHA) is an interdisciplinary program designed for administrators in a changing health care environment. Attentive to the specific needs of participants, the program addresses academic and professional expectations of those currently employed in health care administration as well as students who seek new careers in the field. The Master of Health Administration degree program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME).
The Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) prepares graduate students through research and practice experiences to apply core principles of public health education within a variety of community settings and to advance the public health profession. Our public health baccalaureate and masters degree programs are accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH).
The Graduate Certificate Program in Community Health contributes to the preparation of community and public health practitioners to take the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) examination.

Completion of the certificate program does not provide admission to the MSPH program.

The certificate requires twelve (12) credit-hours of coursework and a three (3) credit-hour internship, for a total of fifteen (15) graduate credit hours. The certificate may be pursued concurrently with a related graduate degree program at UNC Charlotte.
