Every summer, the BSchools.org team updates school profiles like this one to provide a current, up to date list of schools offering online MBA programs for the upcoming academic year.

We collect the school and program data ourselves, then review the profiles for accuracy, and then send them off for final review by the school.

When the school’s representative provides feedback, we make any necessary updates and mark the profile as “Reviewed by School”.

We collect and validate the same data for every school in our database, regardless of whether or not the school is an advertiser (sponsor). Click any “sponsor” link to learn more.

With such a variety of concentrations available, business professionals can tailor their degree to their specific career path. Anyone with a bachelor’s degree may apply to the program; however, those with non-business educational backgrounds may need to complete foundational courses before pursuing the MBA.

SNHU boasts a faculty of experienced business professionals and one of the most affordable tuition rates in the nation. It is located in Manchester, New Hampshire and has been offering the MBA degree for over 40 years. Career paths vary widely depending on the concentration chosen but may include careers in government, healthcare, security, music, athletics, IT, and other fields.

Meet the Expert: Beth Miller, MBA

Beth Miller is a mom of two and a devoted Tennessee Vols fan from Manchester, Tennessee. She is originally from northern Maine and attended the University of Southern Maine for her undergraduate studies. In 2022, she earned her MBA in healthcare management from Southern New Hampshire University.

Miller has a passion for healthcare advancement. Her patient care career began in ophthalmology, where she led clinics as an ophthalmic technician at Vanderbilt Eye Institute in Nashville, Tennessee.

Miller has worked in clinical research operations since 2017. The first study she led was a collaborative effort with the US Department of Defense, Veterans Health Administration, and Vanderbilt Eye Institute. It is now published in the Journal of Neurotrauma. Since obtaining her MBA in healthcare management, she has managed clinical trial strategy and operations locally and globally in the ophthalmology, oncology, and immunology spaces.

Miller and her partner spend most of their time with their four children, two cats, and a very loving and affectionate English Shepherd named Kylo. They love to adventure as a family, stay active, and spend time around any and all bodies of water.

BSchools.org: How has earning an MBA in healthcare management enhanced your career?

Miller: I knew I wanted to work in healthcare management right out of school. My undergraduate degree got me in the door for patient care positions, but earning my MBA in healthcare management gave me the tools to get to that next level. I gained so much knowledge of business law and finance, as well as management practices and principles that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise.

The MBA in healthcare management at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) has been invaluable and opened doors for significant career advancement opportunities. I now get to be part of those business strategy conversations affecting not only healthcare facilities and providers but also patients and their families.

BSchools.org: What is one piece of advice you would give to a prospective MBA in healthcare management student?

Miller: Use your instructors and be a sponge. SNHU has a group of incredibly knowledgeable instructors and advisors, and they all truly want you to succeed. Your instructors are professionals straight out of the field, and they have years of experience to share. It’s not easy, but it is 100 percent worth it.
