Full-Time MHA Program

18 month focused study

Paid summer residency

First Year

The first year of coursework concentrates on developing analytical and problem-solving skills. Each course applies the material to complex healthcare organizations. Instructors emphasize hands-on learning, using community settings to sharpen skills and apply the principles to a healthcare environment.

Summer Residency

At the end of the first academic year, students receive significant program support in arranging a paid summer residency to put their preparation into practice.

Second Year

Second year coursework hones students' knowledge and skills. Students select electives to build subspecialties and round out their education. Coursework again emphasizes the specific challenges of material to the healthcare industry, and applies learning through hands-on practice.

During the second year, students are individually guided in the search for a fellowship or position. Minnesota's large national alumni network is instrumental in generating opportunities best suited to a student's strengths.
