Магистр наук в области управления здравоохранением (MSHM)

Our rigorous one-year degree program will help you develop a foundational understanding of the U.S. healthcare system, develop solid business and leadership skills, and gain hands-on experience in the field.

Through a unique partnership between the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the Kelley School of Business, we develop innovative healthcare leaders with skills and principles to serve the greater good, contribute to the creation of an equitable and healthy society, and actively shape a sustainable healthcare environment.

We prepare students for leadership roles in organizations across the healthcare industry, including hospitals, healthcare consulting firms, pharmaceutical, and medical device companies, insurance, and long-term care facilities. No prior experience, industry knowledge, or GRE score is required.

Is the MSHM Degree for You?

Our program is designed for anyone interested in building a competitive advantage for entry- and mid-level management positions in the healthcare industry, including:

• Current undergraduate students
• Students planning to take a gap year before applying to a health professions school (medical school, dental school, etc.) who want to build the skills necessary to run their own practice
• Early career professionals with an interest in healthcare management, regardless of previous experience
• Mid-careerists ready to take on positions of increasing responsibility, including those leading teams for the first time

Executive track

For professionals with at least four years of prior experience, we offer an executive track which is online except for one week on our Bloomington, IN campus. This track is intended to be completed in two years, but can be extended based on the needs of the student.
