The UNF EMHA Program’s mission is to train healthcare professionals to become executive leaders in the healthcare industry. The program is a largely online and structured cohort program that allows students to meet their professional demands while conveniently earning their advanced degree. The EMHA Program is for working health care professionals due to the largely online delivery format. This allows health care executives, physicians and clinician leaders to earn an EMHA degree from any location and at times convenient to each student.
