jeevakp103,

I personally would vote for an MBA in healthcare management, because you would get the general management core courses, have some electives for entrepreneurship, and have the healthcare management specialization. Wharton, Kellogg, Duke and Vanderbilt are among leading programs with healthcare MBAs.

Jeevakp,

An MBA will be broader than an MHA while MHA will take you more deeply into the Healthcare sector. if you see yourself more as a businessman in healthcare sector than a healthcare professional ten years down the line, MBA is probably the right choice for you.

Most of the schools offer MBA and have focus in Healthcare industry. Second year is predominantly electives and a student in general MBA can easily pick few electives from Healthcare focus of the MBA coursework. At the end, you get a diploma in MBA, and hence once you are in the business school, YOU will have all the flexibility to choose any direction.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
