As a unique and growing field, the health care industry has its own technology, communication, and economic leadership issues.Adult students in the health care MBA program will have the opportunity to master application of knowledge about health delivery systems, health policy, health administration, leadership communication, finance, and economics in a best practices format for learning.

Among the greatest challenges faced by adult students seeking a MBA are the program prerequisites, often as high as six courses. University of Mary has addressed this concern by including two foundation or "leveling" courses in the MBA distance education program. The foundation courses cover the basic concepts and skills typically included in an undergraduate program in business administration. In addition to the foundation and core courses, students take the following specialized health care courses: Community-Focused Health Systems, Health Care Law and Policy, Human Resources Management, Managed Care Organizations & Finance, and Strategic Decision-Making in Health Care.
