Modern Healthcare’s just-released annual ranking of healthcare MBA programs by size places two executive MBA programs in the Haslam College of Business at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, at the top of the rankings. The Physician Executive MBA program (PEMBA) and Executive MBA for Healthcare Leadership (EMBA-HL) took the No. 1 spot among public institutions and ranked No. 3 overall for 2020.
The programs are in elite company nationally, as Duke and Yale are ranked Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, while Dartmouth comes in at No. 4. Only Haslam, among all the schools in the ranking, offers customization in the healthcare arena with its PEMBA, for physicians only, and EMBA-HL programs.
“I believe we achieved this ranking because so many healthcare professionals, including doctors, are impressed by our healthcare team’s dedication to helping them expand their professional skillset,” Bruce Behn, Haslam’s associate dean for graduate and executive education, said. “We provide healthcare leaders with a full-service learning experience that allows them to continue the important daily work of their organizations. In fact, supporting our students’ needs – with utmost attention to detail – is a defining characteristic of all our graduate and executive education programs. It truly sets us apart.”
