The Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA) is a not-for-profit association of university-based educational programs, faculty, practitioners, and provider organizations. Its members are dedicated to continuously improving the field of healthcare management and practice. It is the only non-profit entity of its kind that works to improve the delivery of health services throughout the world - and thus the health of citizens - by educating professional managers at the entry level.

From its inception in 1948, membership in AUPHA has grown from seven graduate programs in the United States and Canada to more than 150 graduate and undergraduate university programs in North America. Schools of medicine, public health, allied health, and business administration house these interdisciplinary academic programs.

In addition to AUPHA’s Program Members throughout North America, our membership also includes more than 100 international health administration programs and affiliated health care organizations. In addition, the Association’s membership includes hundreds of educators, executives, corporations, individuals and libraries committed to the organization’s mission.
