The MBA-Health program explores best practices for the comprehensive development of sustainable healthcare business models. Further, it explores topics in health research, business planning, social innovation and operational administration.
This 14-month, 34-credit degree program is offered primarily in online classes, with two separate one-week residencies. The online MBA courses take place in a virtual classroom, which allows real-time interaction between students and professors.
- Residencies: Students also complete a pair of one-week, non-consecutive residencies. Participants work together in teams and build strong relationships during numerous team-building events during the initial residency. Then, during the final residency week, participants present their final capstone project. This project is designed to encourage students to think critically, solve challenging problems, utilize the knowledge learned in various courses, and enhance their research, communication, and presentation skills.
- Class Sessions: Participants take two courses at a time during an eight week-period. Live class sessions typically are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM EST, with some additional “face-time” required in different classes.
