Students who are pursuing degrees in areas such as business, finance, information systems and analytics can prepare themselves for positions with health systems and health organizations through these certificate programs. Students in the Master of Health Care Administration or Master of Global Health programs may also enhance their academic disciplines by adding one of these certificates to their curriculum. Students who earn a certificate will have a distinct advantage over others in an employment recruiting circumstance.

Please note, these graduate certificates are separate from theMaster of Science in Health Care Administration and theMaster of Science in Global Health programs.

Students seeking to complete both, a certificate program and a master’s program, will need to apply and be admitted separately.
