Master Degree Programs |
Master of Health Services Administration and Master of Business Administration (MHSA/MBA)The MHSA/MBA is a three-year program offered jointly by the Department of Health Management and Policy and the School of Business Administration. It is designed for people who wish to further enhance their business skills provided through the MBA curriculum. Students in the dual degree program complete both the MHSA and the MBA degrees in three years, rather than the four normally required to complete each degree separately. This combined degree program is not open to students who have already earned either the MHSA or the MBA degree. However, students who are registered in the first year of either the MHSA or the MBA degree programs may apply for admission to the joint program. Students admitted to the dual degree program are required to earn 45 credits in the Business School and 45 credits in the School of Public Health (see sample curricula). In their first year of study, they normally enroll in the required courses in the Business School. The second year is then devoted to required courses in the MHSA program in the School of Public Health. In the third year, students enroll in courses in both schools. MHSA/MBA students are expected to spend the summer months between academic years in a hospital or other health care organization as paid Administrative Interns. The faculty of the Department of Health Management and Policy assist in the placement for one of the internships, and students consult the Business School for assistance with the second internship placement.
