Course Equivalencies

Qualified students in these undergraduate programs will be allowed to take courses from the following list. Courses chosen will apply toward an MHA degree and will also meet corresponding undergraduate degree course requirements.  

Admission Requirements

Students in the Bachelor’s degree programs must have a GPA of 3.0 or better and have completed all general education requirements, as well as the following three major courses before taking any of the graduate courses:

• HA 205 - American Healthcare Systems  or LTC 210 - Introduction to Long-Term Care Administration  
• HA 330 - Healthcare Administration: Management Foundations  
• HA 343 - Healthcare Financial Management  

Additional Notes

Students interested in taking advantage of the Fast Track option should contact their Academic Advisors.

Once accepted, students may take a maximum of 12 and a minimum of 3 graduate level credits prior to completion of the Bachelor’s Degree.

For graduate level courses, students will pay the graduate tuition rate effective at the time of enrollment.

Students must earn a minimum of 3.0 grade point average in Fast Track graduate courses in order to progress to the MHA degree following completion of the Bachelor’s Degree.

Students who earn 120 credits may earn a bachelors degree and are not required to continue in the MHA program.  Inactive students, once readmitted, are subject to any new program guidelines instituted in their absence.

Graduation

The HA courses will simply substitute for undergraduate courses, so students will graduate with a BS when completing all requirements. They will then transfer into the HA with some courses already taken.
