HA 727 - Applied Capstone Project

This course represents a culmination of the student’s graduate work in the MHA Program.  The student works closely with an assigned instructor to develop either an Applied Research Paper or an Applied Management Project.  If the student intends to eventually pursue doctoral studies and/or engage in scholarly writing and publications, then the Applied Research Paper should be selected.  For those students who plan to continue working in direct healthcare administration, they should choose the Applied Management Project.
