Health Management & Policy 
Dual Masters Degree in Nursing
Master of Health Services Administration
Master of Nursing Administration (M.H.S.A./MNA)
The M.H.S.A./MNA dual degree program is offered by the Department of Health Management and Policy and the School of Nursing in the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies. The program is designed for a small number of students who wish advanced training in nursing management systems
as well as thorough preparation in the fields of health management.
All requirements for both degrees are completed in 5 semesters of enrollment, rather than the 6 or 7 normally required to complete each degree separately.
Students must complete a total of 68 credits, 45 of which must be elected in the School of Public Health
(see sample curricula), and 23 of which must be elected through the School of Nursing, including core courses for each degree. The remaining credits may be taken as electives chosen in consultation with a faculty advisor. Students enroll
in three terms in the School of Public Health and two terms in the Rackham Graduate School.
Students are expected to complete an HMP internship in the summer between one of the years of study. The faculty of the Department of Health Management and Policy assist in the placement for the internship.
