Healthcare ranks TWU-Houston’s HCA program as 4th largest
1/24/08
HOUSTON – Modern Healthcare, the weekly magazine
for hospitals and healthcare industry executives, recently
ranked the master of health care administration program at
Texas Woman’s University’s Institute of Health
Sciences-Houston Center the 4th largest in the nation.
The rankings were
tallied using the total number of students enrolled, based
on July 2007 reports. TWU’s Houston program tied with
the University of Pennsylvania as 4th largest program with
160 students.
Dr. Kelley Moseley,
professor and director of TWU-Houston’s health care
administration program, credits the ranking to the quality
of the program, the faculty and the students themselves.
“We’re
a practice-based program that attracts working healthcare
professionals, as well as those without health care experience,
who can benefit from the networking opportunities of fellow
students working in the industry,” Dr. Moseley said.
Dr. Moseley also
cites the program’s accreditation, location within the
Texas Medical Center, close affiliation with Houston hospitals
and its relationship with the American College of Healthcare
Executives professional association as reasons for attracting
students.
Dr. Jimmy H. Ishee,
dean of the College of Health Sciences, said, “One of
the goals in TWU’s strategic plan addresses national
recognition of programs. This ranking is an excellent example
of how the health care administration program in Houston is
achieving that goal for the College of Health Sciences.”
TWU-Houston’s
master of health care administration program, accredited by
the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education
(CAHME), prepares working professionals for management positions
and leadership roles in the healthcare industry by offering
a comprehensive, rigorous curriculum. For more information,
