EMHA Faculty
USC faculty members are making substantial contributions to research and education in healthcare, management, policy and related fields. Executive MHA faculty members are drawn from among USC Price’s distinguished full-time faculty, as well as selectively from faculty of other schools, such as the School of Pharmacy, Marshall School of Business, Annenberg School for Communications, Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, and the Keck School of Medicine, among others.
Adjunct Executive MHA faculty members are active and experienced practitioners in the greater professional community, contributing to a practical classroom environment that stimulates the rapid integration of concept with both faculty and participants’ on-the-job experiences. In addition to the involvement of seasoned executives as guest lecturers in class sessions, the EMHA also features a stellar roster of periodic special speakers who enrich the learning experience.
