In traditional degree programs, you progress course by course. In Walden’s online Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) degree program in the Tempo Learning format, you’ll demonstrate competencies instead of completing courses. Competencies are the skills, knowledge, and abilities you’ll need to be successful in your healthcare administration career. Completing these competencies ensures that as a graduate, you’ll be able to show your current or future employers the specific skills and abilities you learned in your MHA program. There are no weekly deadlines with the competency-based option, and you decide when and where to complete your work.
