Master of Business Administration: Health Services Administration track

The Department of Health Sciences cooperates with the College of Business Master of Business Administration program to offer a health services administration track within the Master of Business Administration program. This program is intended to provide practicing health professionals with the business skills and health systems knowledge necessary for promotion or to take advantage of new opportunities.

This track includes the following four courses:

  • HTH 659. Health Care Environment (three credits)
  • HTH 660. Health Economics (three credits)
  • HTH 661. Financial Management of Health Services Organizations
    (three credits)
  • HTH 669. Health Care Administration (three credits)

Three of these courses are used to meet Master of Business Administration elective requirements. Students in the health services administration track take HTH 661, Financial Management of Health Services Organizations, instead of FIN 655, Advanced Topics in Financial Management.

Students who have not had at least two years of work experience in a health services organization will be required to complete a three-month internship. Application for admission must be made to the College of Business Master of Business Administration program. Applicants must meet Master of Business Administration prerequisites requirements.
