Abstract
AbstractWinston‐Salem State University's (WSSU), Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) program, answered the call of the University of North Carolina system to offer education at an equal or higher quality than currently provided at a cost that is consistent with the state's constitution. As such, WSSU converted its MHA program to a competency‐based education (CBE) platform. The American College of Healthcare Executives (2017) states that this is an exciting time for healthcare management. The field requires talented people to help introduce and manage the changes taking place in health care. Implementation of the CBE program resulted in increased enrollment, increased student satisfaction through more flexibility to complete an advanced degree, and greater ease in balancing work–life student demands. WSSU's CBE program is designed to ensure that graduates have training and expertise they need to promote career readiness. This article will discuss the journey of transforming a hybrid MHA program to CBE.
