FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the MHA program accredited?

The residential and the executive MHA programs are accredited by the Commission
on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). 

What is the application deadline?

We operate on a rolling admission which means that we accept applications until
the program begins August for residential students and January for executive
students, or until the cohort is full. To receive priority for potential
financial support within the department, residential program applications should
be submitted prior to March 1.

How long does the statement of purpose need to be?

There is no set length for the statement of purpose, but here are some ideas or
key points to address in the statement:

 * Your professional plans and career objectives
 * How you became interested in health administration/health informatics and how
   your prior training and experience would help your career
 * Specific issues and problems in health care you consider challenging and why
 * Indicate if you intend to apply to the traditional (residential) on-campus
   degree program or the distance education (executive) format

What is the minimum TOEFL/IELTS requirement for international students?

The minimum TOEFL/IELTS requirement for international students is a score of at
least 100 on the internet based exam. The minimum IELTS requirement for
international students is a score of 7.

Do you require the GRE or GMAT?

The GRE and GMAT exams are not required.

Where do recent graduates find jobs and what is the average starting salary?

We recommend that our residential students apply for fellowship positions during
their second year of study. While many students do accept fellowship positions
after graduation, many students select job positions as well. The average
fellowship salary for recent residential MHA graduates in the U.S. is $56,600,
ranging between $45,000 and $70,000 per year, according to ACHE.

Do I need to have the prerequisite courses completed prior to beginning the
program?

No, with the exception of Statistical Analysis, we build the prerequisite
courses into the plan of study if you have not previously taken them in the
past. However, we highly recommend enrolling in the prerequisite courses if you
can before beginning the program. 

If you are an Executive applicant you can complete some of the prerequisite
materials via independent study through our website after acceptance to the
program.

For the Executive program am I required to attend all executive onsite weekends?

Yes, all executive students are required to attend all scheduled weekend on-site
sessions. You will know the weekends you are responsible for being on campus for
the entire two-year program on acceptance.
