Master of Business Administration in Management (Health Services Administration)

The M.B.A. degree requires 33 to 51 credits of course work (depending on a student's prior preparation) in business core and business electives, and may be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. The Graduate Programs Office in the Willumstad School of Business evaluates each student's prior academic background to determine if certain prerequisite and foundation core courses can be waived, thus reducing the total number of credit hours required to complete the degree. The equivalent courses must have been completed within the past 5-7 years with a grade of B or higher in order to obtain a waiver from prerequisites and foundation courses. This flexibility is intended to accommodate students with varied academic backgrounds, including those who have already earned an advanced degree and are now seeking to earn a graduate business degree. Students are advised to meet with the Director of the MBA Program in Hagedorn Hall, Room 121, as soon as they enter the program and determine waivers, if any, prior to the end of their first semester.
