Preparing Students for the Business of Healthcare
The MBA in Healthcare Management program merges a rigorous MBA curriculum with in-depth analysis of the healthcare industry. The curriculum introduces students to core business disciplines and strengthens reasoning, communication, and people skills. It also combines an emphasis on ethics with an appreciation for technology and gives graduates a perspective that’s both practical and highly marketable in the current healthcare environment.

Three additional electives. Students select three courses from a list that includes traditional MBA electives and two health electives: Management of Long-Term Care and Group Practice Management.
The Capstone: A critical case study.
