The Army- Baylor University Graduate Program in Health Care Administration started in 1947 as a three month course in the Department of Administration at the Medical Field Service School (MFSS) at Fort Sam Houston, Texas which awarded Certificates of Training in Hospital Administration. The course was expanded to a twenty week training program in 1949. In 1951, the MFSS hospital administration program became affiliated with the Graduate School of Baylor University in Waco, Texas making it the 11th graduate hospital administration program in the country. In 1952, the program became accredited as a member of the Association of University Programs in Hospital Administration. The first graduates of the affiliated program received Master's degrees in May, 1953. In 1969, it became the U.S. Army-Baylor University Graduate Program in Health Care Administration. In 1983, the curriculum was lengthened to twelve months (four semesters) for sixty graduate hours. In 2005, the name changed to Army-Baylor University Graduate Program in Health and Business Administration; the joint MHA/MBA program began.

The Army-Baylor University Graduate Program in Health and Business Administration (H&BA) is fully credentialed by the Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA), the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) since the late 1960s, as well as being accredited as part of Baylor University through the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities. Though there are numerous training programs in health services, it is the only graduate program of health and business administration in the Federal system. Students participating include officers (active duty and reservists) from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and civilian personnel from the Department of the Army and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The current curriculum consists of an academic program of sixty graduate hours over twelve months followed by a twelve month residency at a medical treatment facility. An extended history of the H&BA program is available.
