Health Administration Student Association

The Health Administration Student Association (HASA) is the University of North Florida's student chapter of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). HASA encourages the growth of future healthcare leaders by hosting networking events, providing curriculum-based application opportunities, and fostering professional growth. By stimulating students and professionals in the Northeast Florida community, HASA's fundraising initiatives support member attendance at the ACHE Annual Congress on Healthcare Leadership each year to expand knowledge and further develop leadership skills. Through these activities, HASA is able to connect, develop, and lead members to success.

Upsilon Phi Delta Health Administration Honor Society

The University of North Florida chapter of Upsilon Phi Delta serves high-achieving students pursuing a degree in healthcare administration. UPDelta's primary objective is to enhance student academic experiences by building professional relationships and developing interpersonal skills. Membership is offered to select students who meet the standards of this national honor society.

Cultural Diversity

At the University of North Florida, we embrace the diversity and culture of our student body and faculty. The Department of Health Administration supports global health by offering study abroad trips each spring in addition to offering a Global Health certificate. In March 2017, health administration students traveled to Hungary and Austria to learn about their healthcare systems. In 2018, students will have an opportunity to visit London to gain a better understanding of the United Kingdom's universal healthcare system.
