Curriculum Information – Healthcare Management Certificate
Students are admitted to a cohort that progresses through the certificate track. Students must complete 12 credits to be awarded the certificate.
Students can choose between the three pathways described below. The curriculum for each pathway covers key healthcare leadership skills such as health systems overview, organizational finances, and managing in a healthcare environment. Students will dive deeper into topics based on the pathway they choose.
Certificate students in the standard pathway will join students in the MHA Executive cohort and will participate in an on-campus kickoff in January.
