MBA Health Organization Management

The ever-increasing demand for sophisticated management and accountability in the health care industry requires professionals whose education is strongly based in business principles. This educational base is most appropriately provided by an accredited graduate degree in both business and healthcare. The MBA and MD/MBA Program, in Health Organization Management (HOM), is currently one of only nine MBA-based programs that are dually accredited by the AACSB International, the national accrediting organization for business and management programs, and the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). The MBA and MD/MBA Program combines the expertise of faculty members in business, medicine, public administration, and economics.

Superior academic training and challenging real world experience have placed Texas Tech University’s HOM Program among the nation’s premier health care management programs. As one of the few MBA programs aligned with a School of Medicine, the HOM Program draws upon the resources and expertise of both the Rawls College of Business and the School of Medicine. The MBA (HOM) course of study prepares students for managerial positions in the health care industry, with special emphasis on medical groups and ambulatory care settings. Texas Tech’s HOM Program offers a unique view of physicians and administrators working together, which is not seen at other programs..
