Accelerated BSHSM - MHA

Accelerated BSHSM - MHA Program

Since its inception in 1996, the accelerated BSHSM - MHA program has recognized the potential of undergraduate students to do graduate-level work. High-performing students obtain an intensive, interdisciplinary education that leads to careers improving the health of individuals and communities.

The MHA program offers the opportunity to receive early admission to undergraduate students who have maintained a 3.5 cumulative GPA. Students accepted into the accelerated program will earn two degrees in five years by completing the first year of graduate courses during their undergraduate senior year.

The accelerated master’s program is a highly competitive opportunity for outstanding health administration students.
