Upsilon Phi Delta
Upsilon Phi Delta is a nationally recognized academic honor society for students in health administration. The society is administered by the Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA). Upsilon Phi Delta is derived from the Greek words for health, service, and leader. The organization was formed in 1965 to further the profession of health administration and the professional competence and dedication of its members. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte graduate chapter of Upsilon Phi Delta was formed in 2010. Membership in the University of North Carolina at Charlotte graduate chapter is based on academic excellence and upholding high professional standards and ethics. Members are selected on the basis of academic achievements, service to the MHA Program and the community, and/or contributions to the healthcare management profession.
