Typical Course Sequence
The MHA Program is designed for both full-time and part-time enrollment. We encourage applications from students who are able to attend the program full time as well as those who plan to continue their employment while completing the degree. Students attending the MHA Program full time will complete the program in two academic years including a required extended summer preceptorship between the two years. The part-time program is designed to be completed in four years with the student taking two classes per semester. Part-time students can complete the program more quickly by scheduling additional courses.
