It was developed by industry leaders, respected academic mentors, and program development experts committed to preparing the next generation of leaders in the healthcare industry. The MSHA degree is awarded upon successful completion of nine courses comprising 36 credits. Students take one course during each seven week term, enabling most students to finish their degrees in less than two years. The GRE is not required.
