Degree Programs
Master of Health Administration–Master of Business Administration (M.H.A.-M.B.A.)
The combined M.H.A.-M.B.A. program enables the student to take a sequence of courses leading to the attainment of both degrees. Successful completion of this 78-credit-hour program provides the graduate student with sufficient depth and breadth in each discipline to function effectively in a health care delivery system that is driven by business principles.
Admissions
To participate in the joint program, students must apply to and be accepted into both the Indiana University School of Public Health, Master of Health Administration program and the Indianapolis Kelley School of Business Master of Business Administration program.
Academic Standing
Grade point averages for the two schools are computed separately. To continue in the joint program, the student must meet the academic standards in each school. Students failing in one school but meeting academic standards in the other school may complete work for the degree in the school in which they are able to meet the standards. Such completion must be upon the same conditions as required of regular (noncombination) degree candidates.
Program Advisors
Once students have been accepted into this joint degree program, they should meet with academic advisors to plan course sequencing. All M.B.A. core courses must be taken as intact modules. Full-time students typically take two M.H.A. and two M.B.A. courses each semester. Part-time students take either two M.H.A. or two M.B.A. courses each semester. Since M.B.A. courses must be taken as a cohort, part-time students will need to sequence all the M.B.A. courses in a block.
