NYU Wagner

MPA in Health Policy and Management

Ranked #3 in Health Policy and Management by US News and World Report

NYU Wagner's Health Policy and Management program has been recognized as the best in the country. Located in a school of public service rather than in a medical or public health school, our program crosses traditional boundaries, linking management, finance, and policy, and provides students with the cutting-edge concepts and skills needed to shape the future of health policy and management. Students graduate with a set of tools and experiences that allow them to understand both the delivery of health care services and the broader social, cultural, and economic factors that influence health outcomes. They work in every sector of the health care system, and experience firsthand the importance of health care delivery and health promotion in one of the most interesting, diverse, and complex cities in the world.

"Wagner's health program integrates policy and management across not-for-profit, community, and government fields, which is ideal for students whose careers are likely to transcend single sectors."
Professor Anthony Kovner, Professor of Public and Health Management.
