MCPHS University (Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences)
MCPHS is a private university based in Boston’s Longwood Medical Area — the epicenter of the world’s largest biotech cluster. That location gives students direct, walkable access to leading hospitals, biotech firms, and pharmaceutical companies, making MCPHS a natural hub for students pursuing the business side of healthcare.
School of Healthcare Business and Technology
Rather than a traditional standalone business school, MCPHS houses its business programs within the School of Healthcare Business and Technology — a program built specifically around the intersection of healthcare, business, and technology, rather than general management education.
Purpose-built for healthcare careers
Every program in the school combines core business fundamentals with healthcare-specific coursework in law, ethics, finance, and technology. Faculty are drawn directly from industry — executives, entrepreneurs, and healthcare leaders — bringing real-world expertise and hands-on mentoring into the classroom.
MBA in Healthcare Technology
A STEM-designated program (available full-time in Boston or part-time online) focused on the fast-evolving overlap of healthcare, technology, and management. The curriculum emphasizes data science, AI, and health informatics, and includes a Global Comparative Healthcare Seminar with a trip to London to study international healthcare systems firsthand.
A track record of landing consulting roles
MCPHS’s healthcare-focused MBA graduates have gone on to healthcare consulting roles at Big 4 firms — one recent graduate landed a Senior Consultant role at PwC directly out of the program, citing the degree as the foundation for translating healthcare knowledge into business strategy.
Applied, internship-driven learning
Programs include built-in internship opportunities at leading healthcare facilities, and students benefit from MCPHS’s deep alumni and industry connections throughout the Longwood Medical Area for networking, mentorship, and job placement.
Programs
Offerings include the BS in Healthcare Management and Technology, MBA in Healthcare Technology, MBA in Healthcare Management, and a Doctor of Healthcare Administration (DHA) — spanning full-time, part-time, and online formats.
