Plan Description
This is a dual degree offered by the Lee Business School in conjunction with the School of Public Health.
The Lee Business School MBA Programs at UNLV are designed for those who seek global career and leadership opportunities.
The world is changing quickly and today’s business leaders are faced with new challenges in a complex business environment supported by new communication technologies and organizational structures. Success in the new global marketplace requires teams of executives working across functions and across borders.
The MBA programs at UNLV prepare students to succeed in today’s business environment by providing them with the needed skills, knowledge, and tools to become visionary and creative leaders.
The program focuses on ethics and critical thinking, business communications, the role of the firm and its goals and markets, firms’ strategic planning and positioning, supply chain management, international business culture, information technology, leadership, and teamwork.
Our faculty and administration are committed to fulfilling the recently revised college mission: to advance the knowledge and practice of the disciplines that constitute business and administration and to foster the intellectual and economic vitality of Nevada and the Intermountain Region through teaching, research, and outreach.
Our faculty are committed to continuous quality improvement of the curriculum.
To achieve the best outcome, the faculty embrace no single teaching method, but rather employ a combination of methods best suited to the particular objectives of the course. Lectures, group discussions, seminars, case studies, computer simulations, and individual and group research projects are frequently used within courses and across the curriculum.
UNLV’s School of Public Health offers the only two Masters of Healthcare Administration programs within the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), the residential MHA as well as the Executive Master of Healthcare Administration. The MHA will prepare students to assume leadership roles in healthcare organizations in both clinical and administrative functions. The MHA degree is recognized in the healthcare field as an important credential that allows graduates to assume healthcare management level positions. The curriculum has been developed to include critical competencies for healthcare leadership, including issues of healthcare delivery, healthcare finance, ethical and legal issues in healthcare administration and management topics. Students will use their education and expertise to help meet the healthcare management needs of the State of Nevada and beyond.
