The Master of Health Administration with a concentration in Sustainability Management degree program pinpoints how to manage the effects of health care operations on the environment, while exploring renewable energy alternatives and making energy use more efficient. University of Phoenix can help you gain the skills needed to reduce your facility’s carbon footprint. Speak with an Enrollment Representative to learn how you can position yourself as a leader in health administration.
What you'll learn
The Master of Health Administration prepares leaders and aspiring leaders in the health sector by providing the competencies necessary to drive the future of healthcare through effective facilitation of cross-system transformation and the improvement of health outcomes for patients, populations, and providers.
