Drew Professor of Healthcare Administration, College of Public Health, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA 2 Milken Institute School of Public Health, The George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA *Correspondence: [email protected] The authors who presently serve in administrative leadership positions in graduate education have both previously served as directors of undergraduate programs in health administration as well as on committees and the Board of the Association of University Programs in Health Administration and as site visitors for Council on Accreditation in Health Management Education. While there are published reports addressing components of the establishment and incorporation of undergraduate programs into health administration education, there is not a complete formal history and a great deal of the experience that follows is anecdotal and unpublished.
