Master of Science - Health Care Administration and Policy

The Master of Science program in health care administration and policy focuses on the study and design of systems, processes, leadership and management approaches used to optimize health care delivery and health outcomes for all.

The curriculum is centered on achieving high-value care through leadership, population health, informatics, systems engineering, health care management, health economics, equity, bioethics and policy.

Students customize their elective coursework to their interests and goals, with courses being offered in three focus areas:

health policy and advocacy

health systems management

performance improvement in health care

The program challenges students to work on innovative solutions to improve the U.S. health care system by simultaneously improving the health of populations, enhancing the patient experience and reducing per capita cost of care.

Participating students work in a cohort through the program and are able to complete the degree in as few as nine months. Students are also paired with leading health care delivery organizations and leaders to complete an applied capstone project during the program.
