The Healthcare MBA at Bentley University, developed in collaboration with a leading teaching hospital, is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the business acumen and leadership skills necessary to excel in the dynamic healthcare industry. This program is tailored to meet the needs of mid-career professionals, directors, and executives who are looking to advance their careers and make a significant impact in their organizations.
Unlike many MBA programs that add healthcare electives to standard core courses, Bentley’s program weaves healthcare into every course. From finance to leadership, all content is taught through a healthcare lens—giving professionals industry-specific tools to lead, innovate, and make informed decisions to tackle real-world healthcare challenges.
