Students The HAP student population is very diverse. Of the approximately 45 graduate students, about half have had full-time work experience, half are women, and the average age is 25. Many of the students work part-time, or as interns, while pursuing their MHA degree.
Student organizations provide numerous opportunities for leadership, exposure and social diversion.
In addition to studies and work, there are many opportunities for relaxation and fun in the St. Louis area. Major league sports have a great presence with the Cardinals, the Rams, and the Blues, with St. Louis being named the best baseball town. Usually the Program has at least one trip to a Cardinals' baseball game. There are also college sports and minor league baseball and basketball. St. Louis hosted the NCAA Women's Basketball final four and the Missouri Valley Conference basketball playoffs in 2001.
