MHSA Curriculum

• HSA6597 – Master’s Research Project

  The Master’s Research Project is a capstone experience where you explore a healthcare administration topic in depth. With guidance from faculty, you’ll design and complete a project focused on a healthcare organization, a community setting or publicly available data. This experience lets you apply the knowledge and skills you’ve gained throughout the program.

• HSA6875 – Administrative Internship

  The Administrative Internship is an experiential learning experience that lets you work directly in a healthcare organization under the supervision of a preceptor. You’ll gain exposure to daily operations and build practical skills in planning, problem-solving and decision-making in a real-world environment.

The MHSA program offers two culminating experiences in your final semester. You can choose between HSA6597 – Integrative Capstone in Health Services Administration, which investigates a real-world healthcare challenge, or HSA6875 – Administrative Internship, which provides hands-on experience in a healthcare organization.

Both options are electives, allowing you to select the experience that best aligns with your interests and career goals.

If you choose the Administrative Internship, you’ll also need to complete a separate application, due approximately two semesters before your final term.
