Program Cirriculum
The HSA curriculum is designed to prepare students
to become health services administrators in a variety of organizations
and is modeled after subject matter requirements stipulated by the
Accrediting Commission on Education for Health Services Administration
(ACEHSA).
Comprised of both required and elective courses, the curriculum
allows students to design a course of study that fits their academic
and career interests. Within each of the four major areas of the
curriculum there are several required and elective courses. A student
can use a given course to fulfill a requirement for both their masters
degree and the Health Services Administration program (e.g., FPMD
6300, Introduction to Epidemiology, meets requirements of both the
MPH and HSA programs).
Depending on the students degree program and with careful
planning, the HSA program adds from 2 to 4 semesters of study. Students
are encouraged to work early with advisors from both programs in
planning their coursework.
The 4 major areas of study of the HSA curriculum are:
A. MANAGEMENT SKILLS
(6 courses)
B. HEALTH CARE SERVICES
(2 courses)
C. SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES
(3 courses)
D. RESEARCH AND QUANTITATIVE SKILLS
(3 courses)
