 Health Care Management Concentration
The Raj Soin College of Business and the Boonshoft School of
Medicine co-sponsor a series of courses that are available to Master of
Business Administration (M.B.A.) students interested in completing a Health
Care Management Concentration with their M.B.A. degree.
Recognizing that the business of health care is different from other sectors,
these concentration courses will introduce master's students to health-specific
advanced business concepts, evaluation techniques and strategic thinking
so they can lead effectively, improve quality, increase productivity and
better manage organizational costs.
Course Requirements
To be recognized as having completed the Health Care
Management Concentration, students enrolled in the AACSB International-accredited
M.B.A. Program at the Raj Soin
College of Business must accumulate a minimum

 Enrollment
Since the HCM Concentration is awarded in conjunction with the
M.B.A. degree, students need to be enrolled in the M.B.A. program at the Raj Soin
College of Business.
Graduates of the Certificate Program in Health Care Management will have satisfied the course requirements for the Concentration in Health
Care Management; however, they will need to enroll in the M.B.A. program to
have their coursework credited toward the M.B.A. degree and the HCM concentration.
Cost
Please note that all courses eligible for HCM concentration have an
instructional fee, in addition to normal tuition. This fee covers course
materials (textbooks, etc.) and light meals that are provided as part of
course enrollment.
