Abstract
A dynamic health care industry continues to call upon health care leaders to possess not one but multiple competencies. A post hoc review of 3 secondary data sets (previous parallel surveys administered in 2007, 2011, and 2015) was conducted to determine what preferred academic program of study (master of health administration, master of business administration, or a clinical degree preparation) may exist by current hospital executives and potential trending of executive degree preparations over time. In addition, any relationships among individual hospital administrator, individual personal characteristics, and their preferred degree preparations were also investigated at an exploratory level. Findings suggest and support the researchers' hypothesis that the preferred degree preference for a career in hospital administration (master of business administration, master of health administration, or clinical) is highly dependent on an individual executive's graduate degree earned. Many areas for future research are identified from this study that include additional survey analysis and future research questions related to initial findings.
