MBA in Health care management (MBA - HCM)
Degree Requirements
The MBA curriculum in the Graduate School of Business is constructed under the umbrella theme of "Responsible Leadership." Integrity, respect and social responsibility are essential attributes for the 21st century health care leader.
The program consists of 16 equivalent graduate courses taught by experienced, nationally- recognized faculty in our highly ranked Graduate School of Business, School of Law, Stritch School of Medicine and Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing.
The cohort group will take all courses together in a pre-arranged order. Limiting classes to only students in the program and keeping the cohort group together allows for continuity and enables the group to network more effectively.
