Program Details
The Healthcare MBA is a 39-credit-hour program, delivered fully online, and can be completed in under two years. The flexible format allows students to maintain momentum in their career while pursuing their degree.
The program includes 33 credit hours of core courses that represent graduate-level course work in all the functional areas of business, delivered with a healthcare lens. Students will take deep dives in cases, assignments and real word applications of the business of healthcare. The program is taught by expert faculty who understand the intersection of business and healthcare and executive professionals who are industry leaders. The remaining 6 credit hours are made up an elective and an application course. The program offers electives in the areas of business intelligence, business cybersecurity and strategic communication. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge they’ve acquired through the program in either an applied executive project or an innovation course. The online courses are delivered in 8-week segments that offer students the opportunity to work in talented teams and participate in virtual asynchronous experiential learning.
