MHA Weekend Program
The MHA Weekend Program and the regular on-campus MHA degree program require that participants complete the same required courses and follow the same application and admission process for the University of South Carolina and the Department of Health Administration. The Weekend MHA Program differs only in that it is delivered with minimal required visits to our campus, so as meet the needs and demands of the professional workforce.

MHA Weekend Goal
The MHA Weekend Format is a master's degree program that facilitates the professional education and development of individuals with leadership potential who are currently employed full-time in management positions in health service organizations in South Carolina and the Southeastern United States.

How Does the MHA Weekend Format Work?
Participants will be required to complete 58 hours of instructional course work over a 36 month period. Courses for the Weekend Format have been developed to meet the busy schedules of the health care professional, clinical director/managers, or health care executives, using the following methods:

  1. On-campus meetings on a few weekends each semester for classroom learning
  2. Home teaching using a variety of distance education technologies
  3. Live television broadcast with two-way audio to specific sites around South Carolina
  4. E-mail and Internet instruction and assignments
  5. Intensive week-long summer sessions
  6. Completion of a special on-the-job project to satisfy residency program requirements
