Washington University's Health Administration Program (HAP) was established in 1946 and is one of the nation's seven pioneering programs. It is a nationally distinguished graduate program that consistently ranks highly among comparable programs and is a fully accredited (ACHESA) university program in health administration. Through HAP, individuals are prepared for the leadership challenges and opportunities associated with the delivery of health care services. HAP's primary purpose is to invest students with the conceptual, technical and interpersonal skills necessary to become effective practitioners and leaders in health care management. Skilled faculty provide expertise in management, finance, information systems, marketing, strategy and population-based planning. Their knowledge is complemented with lectures from prominent regional and national physicians and executives representing all areas of health care.
