Prospective students apply for admission to the graduate school during the semester prior to the first semester in which they intend to enroll in a course for dual credit. To be considered for admission to the accelerated program, a prospective student must submit a graduate school application fee, and satisfy the admission requirements. Admissions are considered on a rolling deadline.
Upon admission to the accelerated program, the student is granted tentative admission to the Master of Health Administration (MHA) graduate program. Tentative graduate admission does not guarantee final admission, which is contingent upon the student meeting all the admission requirements in place for the MHA program at the time the Bachelor's degree is awarded.
The MHA program provides flexible, online learning, tailored to your professional interests within the field of aging. Students who complete the accelerated program can earn their MHA in under two years.
