2019-2020 Graduate Bulletin [ARCHIVED BULLETIN]
Business Administration, Health Care Delivery Science Track, M.B.A.
|
|
 Return to: All Programs
The Health Care Delivery Science track is a 36-hour program leading the Masters of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree. It can be completed in a two calendar-year period. However, given that the typical student is employed full-time, students may choose to attempt the courses over a longer period. Requirements include 15 hours of required HCDS courses, 15 hours of required MBA courses, and 6 hours of electives.
To successfully complete the MBA-HCDS program, students will complete a capstone project. This hands-on project provides opportunities for students to apply core knowledge to real-world problems while gaining practical experience in project design and execution. The work for the capstone project takes place in stages beginning with the first semester a student is enrolled, carrying over into subsequent semesters through completion during the final semester. Students receive coaching and mentoring from a faculty advisor each semester, and are required to present their findings to the entire MBA-HCDS cohort. Zero credit hours are awarded for capstone project courses, but a ‘pass’ grade is required for successful program completion.
