MBA/Health Care Management:
The MBA/HCM is designed to provide students with the business management skills needed to manage successfully in today's health care delivery systems. The MBA/HCM program emphasizes the identification, analysis, and solution of complex management problems with a foundation of health care concepts and decision models that will support the variety of management roles that can be seen in today's health care environment. The MBA/HCM specialization is based upon courses in health care organizations, health care finance, quality and data base management, health care infrastructure, and health care strategic management.

Features:

• Develops students for the role managers play in defining business problems, assessing information, considering alternatives, and choosing the best solution
• Designed to introduce the theory or principles that frame a wide range of problems or issues in each of the courses
• Consists of 46 credit hours. Thirty-one credit hours constitute the core curriculum and 15 additional credit hours complete the MBA/HCM
• Create and maintain an electronic portfolio reflecting your achievements throughout the MBA/HCM program that will serve as a partial catalog of the skills mastered

Note: Students who enter the MBA/HCM program with an undergraduate degree that is not in business will be required to complete web-based material (introduced during the Managerial Communication course) covering the fields of Accounting, Finance, Statistics, and Economics. These students must complete the web-based material and the included self-assessments for each course prior to taking the Accounting, Finance, Statistics, and Economics courses in the core. The web-based material will familiarize the students with the terms and concepts covered in a foundational course in that subject. That foundational knowledge will be presumed by the faculty members who teach the core courses. The web-based material may also serve as a useful review for students who have studied these subjects as undergraduates, but would benefit from a refresher.
