Program Progressions
The MHA course progression is designed with working students in mind. Your cohort will follow a sequence of challenging coursework, that prepares you for the profession. First, all students must take MHA 5000 – Fundamentals of Health Care, the first eight weeks of the student’s first semester. Second, the Capstone course must be taken as the last course. Most courses are only offered in one specific semester. In addition to academic performance, course planning is critical to timely completion of the program.
