Top Graduate Health Care Management & MBA Programs

Finding Top Health Care Management Graduate & MBA Programs in the US

Ok, so as far as I can tell there are no rankings of health care MBAs online. So what is one to do in researching for a health care MBA then? Well, I’ve included the schools that US News and World Report ranks at the top for health care management.
(Exceptions: University of Penn-Wharton (4), Northwestern-Kellogg(8), Berkeley-Hass (10), and Duke-Fuqua (20))

I also included public health programs & health policy/management as ranked by US News and World Report as well. (my guess is the later is largely for health care government & policy type positions, but I’m not entirely sure)

What can you do with theses three heath care program ranking lists? Perhaps you could attend a health care management program. Or perhaps you can check on the MBA programs at these schools. (Both alternatives beat relying on ads for random online degree programs.)

Obviously, if the MBA portion of the degree is important to you, you may want to see if the respective universities offer dual degree programs & the overall value of such degrees in the health care marketplace.

As a side note–I have no idea how Colorado-Denver was ranked twice (I can only assume its two different departments).
