Health Policy and Administration Graduate Programs
Graduate programs in Health Policy and Administration
Penn State’s graduate programs in Health Policy and Administration (HPA) provide a solid foundation for students who want to profoundly shape health policy, make vital future changes to global health-related organizations, and successfully navigate our increasingly complex health care environment — including managing the facilities, services, programs, staff, and budgets that providers rely on.
HPA offers two flexible graduate programs
The esteemed faculty members in both programs train graduates to meet the fast-growing demand for health care administrators that play crucial roles in today’s hospitals, health systems, and related organizations, as well as policymakers and health service researchers in government, private industry, and academia. Synergies among our diverse degree programs provide the foundation for our ever-growing curriculum, outreach programs, and a body of cutting-edge research that often receives recognition on a national stage.
Alison Beam will deliver the 26th Annual Stanley P. Mayers Endowed Lecture, "Balancing Act: The Crucial Interplay of Public and Private Sectors in Health Care," at 6 p.m. on April 2 in the Hintz Family Alumni Center. Beam serves as senior vice president and chief government affairs officer for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Her talk will delve into the intricate web of health care in the United States and explore the critical relationship between the public and private sectors.
