Health Management, B.S. to Health Administration, M.H.A. Accelerated Program

Saint Louis University's accelerated B.S. in health management to the M.H.A. in health administration is designed for students who demonstrate academic success in health management and related coursework. Both of these degrees are offered through SLU's College for Public Health and Social Justice, which is accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health.

This accelerated program enables health management majors to obtain their undergraduate and graduate degrees in five years. Students then enter the workforce up to a year earlier than with a traditional two-year M.H.A. program. Students apply to the accelerated program during their junior year, and accepted students begin graduate coursework during their senior year. Students retain undergraduate status, financial aid and tuition rates until their undergraduate degree is conferred after year four. At that time, students attain official graduate student status, pay graduate tuition and become eligible for graduate assistantships.
