MS in Senior Living Administration

The Master of Science in Senior Living Administration offers an interdisciplinary curriculum, aimed at both experienced professionals who wish to upgrade their skills or advance their careers, as well as those who have completed related undergraduate degrees and wish to enter the expanding senior living employment market. The program is delivered entirely online to provide maximal flexibility to students. It has a real-world orientation, using case studies and community-based assignments, as well as a capstone research or field component.

In addition to a core curriculum and a concentration in either independent/assisted living, nursing home administration, or hospice leadership, students can select from a variety of electives depending on prior knowledge and career objectives.

In 1937, Madonna University (then known as Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Junior College) was established by Mother Mary DeSales Tocka and her council in the Felician Central Convent in Livonia, with a first-year enrollment of 18 Sisters.

Madonna University instituted master's-level programs in 1982 and became a university in 1991. A leader in nursing education at the state, regional, and national levels, Madonna’s College of Nursing and Health launched the University’s first doctoral program – the Doctor of Nursing Practice – in 2009. Through this growth and development, the institution has become one of the nation's largest Franciscan universities with a combined undergraduate and graduate student body of approximately 3,000 students.
