<p>Upenn for ivy league but there are others that may be better depending on your focus such as JHU, UNC, U Michigan. Check out their websites.</p>

<p>Why? This is a strange question. Shouldn’t you be more interested in the best program for health care administration in general, not just an Ivy League? If you ask U.S. News, they rank Michigan, Minnesota, and UNC above the highest-ranked Ivy (UPenn) for health care management/administration. The next highest are Columbia, Yale, and Cornell, which are tied for #14 and have some lesser-known schools above them, like VCU and St. Louis University. Of course you don’t just want to go by USNews, but there’s no reason to concentrate only on the Ivy League.</p>

<p>Princeton doesn’t even offer a program in health care administration. </p>

<p>Or can an Ivy League MHA open doors that non-Ivy MHAs cannot?</p>

<p>^Not necessarily. It depends on what OP wants to do. If she wants to take the MHA (or whatever it is) into fancy consulting firms or banking, then yes, the top school name can open doors - although it doesn’t have to be Ivy League. But if s/he actually wants to go do administration at your average hospital, I don’t think it’s going to make much of a difference, particularly if we are talking about Michigan, UNC and Minnesota (which are fantastic places). What will be really important is her/his internship experience and prior work experience. Top schools usually have great connections, but that’s as true for Michigan and UNC and Minnesota as it is for Columbia and UPenn.</p>

<p>But if you’re OOS, the cost will probably be very similar anyway!</p>

<p>My advice: get a high GPA, work in healthcare in some capacity… and then you can think about Columbia Mailman, Yale or UPenn Wharton.</p>
