NSU healthcare degree recognized as one of nation’s top programs

TAHLEQUAH, Okla.  — Northeastern State University has been listed as one of the top bachelor’s in healthcare administration online for 2023-2024 by EduMed.

The online healthcare organization administration program was rated as one of the top programs in the nation, listed as 15 out of 50 top schools recognized. It was also the only program ranked in Oklahoma. The programs are ranked on a combination of factors like affordability, accessibility and commitment to student success.

NSU offers three emphasis options for the HOA program: healthcare administration, health informatics and long-term care. Courses are offered in an eight-week format and the program can be completed 100% online.

“We are thrilled to receive this acknowledgment for our programs,” NSU President Rodney Hanley said. “This ranking is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our faculty and staff who are committed to providing students with the best possible education.”

Students can begin the program in January, March, August or October. The online and flexible scheduling format allows working adults and healthcare professionals the option to work full-time while pursuing higher education. Additionally, healthcare professionals working in the field can further their education, move into leadership positions or shift to a non-direct patient care setting.

“For the past few years, the NSU HOA Program faculty has worked diligently to reform this program to meet the needs of both current and future students,” Dr. Courtney Hamby, NSU assistant professor of management and program coordinator, said. “It is our ultimate hope that passionate healthcare leaders will emerge from this program. We hope that our students have a hand in improving the quality of the health care delivery system across Oklahoma and beyond.”

The rankings were recently published by EduMed, a leader in supporting student’s pursuits of an online or hybrid education in allied health, nursing and medical fields.

“Receiving recognition and ranking nationally is an honor for the HOA program,” Hamby said. “It signifies quality and productivity within the academic area compared with peer institutions.”

Hamby emphasized the importance that rankings play in shaping the opinion of potential and current students alike. She said many potential students make decisions based on the recognition and ranking of the program.
