What’s the difference between an M.S. in Healthcare Administration and an M.P.A. in Healthcare?
An M.S. in Healthcare Administration is a degree that focuses on the scientific and theoretical aspects of administrative practice within healthcare settings, diving deep into topics like health economics, healthcare law, and strategic planning. The emphasis is generally on managing and operating healthcare organizations. On the other hand, an M.P.A. in Healthcare is a professional degree that hones the skills necessary for managing public and nonprofit healthcare organizations, with an emphasis on public service and policymaking. It focuses more on areas like public policy, community health, and public finance. In essence, while both deal with healthcare management, the M.S. is more oriented toward the administrative and operational aspects within healthcare organizations, whereas the M.P.A. is more geared toward policymaking and management in the public and nonprofit healthcare sectors.
