Mascaritolo Interviewed
By Supply Chain Brain
The Clayton State University Master of
Health Administration (MHA) program,
and Program Director Dr. Thomas
McIlwain, have been honored for their
collective and individual accomplish-
ments and excellence.
MastersDegreeOnline.org, the leading
resource for graduate education, has
included the Clayton State MHA program
on its annual college program rankings
released on June 19, 2013. Described on
the MastersDegreeOnline.org website
(www.mastersdegreeonline.org)
as
encompassing “the best schools and pro-
grams in the nation,” the Clayton State
MHA is one of 41 MHA programs to be
so honored. MastersDegreeOnline.org
describes its listing as being, “a tool for
students to utilize when they are looking
to apply to only the best of the best.”
Overall, the MastersDegreeOnline.org
directory features more than 90,000 pro-
gram listings to allow individuals to deter-
mine which program features are most
important with the goal of identifying pro-
grams that best match personal interests
and career goals. Search results can be fil-
tered by institution size, geographic area,
tuition cost, and school type. While the
primary
focus
of
MastersDegreeOnline.org is online mas-
ter degree programs, they acknowledge
that on-campus programs at traditional
brick-and-mortar schools are the best
options for some students.
According to McIlwain, “we are a hybrid;
a partially seated, partially online pro-
gram.”
At the same time, McIlwain has been
identified by MHA Guide as one of the
nation’s 100 Great Health Administration
Professors (http://mhaguide.com/100-
great-health-administration-professors/).

MHA Guide focus-
es on providing information for future and
current health administration careerists.
“Hopefully this list will help others recog-
nize the impact these professors have on
all of us,” reads MHAGuide.com. “In par-
ticular, these professionals continue to
strengthen students, alumni, and their own
schools. The criteria for our 100 Great
Health Administration Professors and
Leaders was based on the personal
achievements and leadership positions of
these individuals as well as the reputation
of their respective institutions.”
