60 credit hours
Program Description
The MSN/MHA dual degree is designed for nurses desiring to earn a master's degree,
who are interested in nursing leadership and healthcare administration. The program
focuses on the business of healthcare with an emphasis on high quality and safe patient
care delivery and outcomes. Students will attain a broad conceptual understanding
of the healthcare industry and develop specific, focused administrative skills that
will help them to guide healthcare organizations toward greater efficiency, effectiveness
and positive patient and organizational outcomes.
Students will complete the MSN and MHA courses simultaneously, and courses are offered
in the Live Virtual format. Graduation will take place once all course requirements
for the dual degree have been completed, approximately four years. Current MSN or
MHA students who meet the admission requirements and wish to switch to the dual degree
will follow the same MSN/MHA dual degree program requirements and course schedule.
It may be possible students that switch to the dual degree who have already completed
coursework will accrue more than the number of courses and credit hours needed to
complete the dual degree as not all courses already completed will apply to the dual
degree; the courses required for the MSN/MHA dual degree were designed per accreditation
requirements. Should a student decide to drop one of the programs, the courses completed
to that point would be transferable and count toward the single degree completion
at the discretion of the individual program.
