Course summary

This revolutionary program provides the health and business sectors with highly-trained administrators who possess specialized skills for the rapidly changing pace of the health care industry. Students come from a variety of backgrounds, including working professionals who want to retool their skills for leadership positions in the health industry, and health providers who want training in business skills to move into upper-level managerial positions.Students who wish to get both the MBA and the MHSM degree at the W. P. Carey School of Business have the opportunity to share 18 hours of coursework. This coursework is completed during the first portion of both the MBA and MHSM degrees and is considered the "business core" for both degrees. Since the business core is integrated into both the MHSM and the MBA degrees, students are allowed to share the 6 courses on both programs of study. Students are permitted five years to share coursework, so it is recommended to apply for the second degree no more than 3 years after completing the first.
