MBA for Healthcare Professionals

As practitioners in medicine, nursing, physical and occupational therapy and other allied health professions move into management positions they increasingly find that their professional education has not prepared them for their new managerial responsibilities. These include responsibility for leading people, developing programs, budgeting and other financial decision-making, information retrieval and analysis, human resource management, team development, marketing, and strategic planning.

The MBA for Health Care Professionals provides these managerial skills as well as important, and in some cases necessary, credential for upward mobility in the health care arena. In addition, this program will help to develop a better understanding of the larger health care environment and to deal with the rapid changes that are taking place in the field.

This program requires 36 credits of course work (12 courses). In order to be accessible to the largest number of students, this MBA will be offered in an evening and weekend format in 7 and 14 week sessions.
