Rupert M. Evans, Sr., DHA (2006), FACHE
Associate Professor & Consultant, Illinois
The DHA online program provided me a positive and unique opportunity to
immediately apply new knowledge and skills to my health care role. I was able to
network with a diverse group of health care professionals residing in several
states without leaving home or work. Seminars and chat sessions drew upon the
experiences of each student thereby augmenting the curriculum with a variety of
real- life examples. This experience has allowed me to develop leadership skills
that enhance my productivity and interactions with health care team members.

I would recommend Central Michigan University's Doctoral of Health Administration
program to any healthcare professional who has desires to make a difference in
the future of this profession. As a past President and CEO of healthcare systems
who now is teaching at the college level, CMU's DHA program has been an
excellent doctoral program for my second career ambitions. I have been very
impressed with the quality of the program's faculty, integration of courses and
rigor of the curriculum of CMU's DHA program.
James H. Stephens, DHA (2006), FACHE
Past Health System President and CEO Assistant Professor, Georgia
The DHA program offered the opportunity to achieve a personal goal of earning a
doctorate degree, along with the ability to maintain a full time career. The
faculty is exceptional and committed to helping the student succeed, the CMU
off-campus library services are outstanding, and support from CMU has made the
program exceed all expectations. These last two years have been life-changing in
a way I never expected, and I would recommend the CMU Doctoral Program in Health
Administration to any executive considering completion of their terminal degree.

future.
