Health Systems Management Certification
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program provides quality educational opportunities in business for degree and course completion. MSU's MBA program is offered completely online, focuses on working professionals and is designed for individuals seeking to improve their management success. Those with undergraduate degrees in business may complete the program with a minimum of 30 semester hours. Those without the undergraduate business core courses may be admitted to the program by completing the appropriate number of prerequisite courses as determined by the MBA program director. The degree requirements for our MBA specify that all students must complete 24 core (required) hours and 6 hours of free electives.
If you're interested in a career in health care, the Health Systems Management track will prepare you for leadership positions in various healthcare settings. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, employment opportunities are growing "faster than average" in the healthcare industry.
The MBA with Health Systems Management Track can be completed with a minimum 33 semester credit hours. The 21 credit hour MBA core remains the same, but HSM students will then complete 12 hours in the HSM area.
For those who already have professional health care experience, MSU offers the Health Systems Management Certificate. The goal of the Health Systems Management Certificate program is to prepare students for leadership in the healthcare industry and to address the national priority for university-based curriculum to meet the increased demand for healthcare professionals with competencies in health information technology and health systems transformation.
