MHA Student Testimonials
|
- "The
University of Scranton offers a variety of learning experiences for its
students. I particularly like the notion of an Administrative Residency,
involvement with the American College of Healthcare Executives, and the blend
of real-world experience within the lecture environment. These learning
opportunities that the Health Administration program have given me, both inside
and outside of the classroom, have helped prepare me for my future in
Healthcare." Brian Connolly, 25, Administrative Resident, Lehigh Valley Hospital and
Health Network
- "The MHA
program at the University of Scranton has been great in that it has allowed me
to meet new people and experience new challenges in the field of Health
Administration. The faculty members are outstanding and are willing to help in
your development at all costs. It has been a wonderful experience thus far and
I continue to look forward to the upcoming year."
Brinder Singh,
Fairfax, VA
- "I chose
Scranton's MHA program for several reasons. First, I like classes in the
evenings and I can schedule 2 classes back to back and only make one trip up to
school per week. Secondly, this is a quality program with extensive learning
opportunities in all realms of healthcare management. Finally, I like the
networking and learning that comes from attending classes with other
professionals in my field. I am very happy and proud that I chose Scranton for
my graduate schooling."
Denise A. Beechay, RN, Administrative Nursing Supervisor at Geisinger
Medical Center
- "Looking
back on my time at Scranton, I am most impressed with the well rounded, hands
on experience I received in the healthcare field. During the course of my two
years attending graduate school, I was able to gain real work experience in
many healthcare settings from a group practice, to a large hospital, to an
insurance company, to working with government funded grants. The professors and
affiliated faculty members' connections were extremely valuable when looking to
apply the knowledge learned in the classroom to the real, ever-changing
healthcare world. The field experiences were able to give you the insight when
looking at where you want your career to go."
