The new hybrid-distance Executive MHA Program (EMHA) at Saint Louis University, which began in 2012, celebrates its first graduation this December and rings in the New Year with another strong incoming cohort. Students are drawn to the unique blended format of the EMHA, its focus on the adult learner, close alignment with our resident MHA Program and its emphasis on flexibility. The program attracts students from across a continually expanding geographic region. Mike Counte, Ph.D. is the Director of the EMHA Program and welcomes any comments or questions (countem@slu.edu, 314-977-8118).
