With a degree in Healthcare Management from EMU, you can develop your skills to be prepared to enter a career where you can make a difference.

Our Master’s in Healthcare Management program uniquely challenges students to take courses broadly from several disciplines. This program is targeted at early career healthcare administrators who are currently working in a related field.  While work experience in a healthcare field is preferred, it is not required.  This program is typically completed in two years with start dates in both the fall and spring.  If students are seeking executive healthcare positions, they should pursue the MBA.

Distinctives of our HCM degree:

  • Online program with small class size, taught by expert faculty;

  • 8 day cross-cultural residency in Appalachia or other designated resource-limited setting with classmates;

  • Terminal master's degree (37 graduate semester hours) or one-year certificate (15 program semester hours).
