Master of Health Sector Management in Downtown Phoenix

The School of Health Management and Policy will offer the Master of Health Sector Management (MHSM) degree beginning Fall 2007 in downtown Phoenix at the Maricopa Medical Center.  All core classes will be offered on site, one evening per week.

The MHSM program is offered cooperatively with the W. P. Carey School of Business MBA programs. Students have the option to earn a concurrent MBA/MHSM degree by completing an additional year of MBA classes at the Downtown Phoenix campus.

The MHSM program offered by the School of Health Management and Policy is the only accredited program in health administration in Arizona. All courses for the ADHS cohort will be taught by regular program faculty.

Admissions

Students apply through the regular on-line admissions process to the ASU Graduate College http://www.asu.edu/graduate/admissions/index.html.

Admissions requirements include:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent
• Admissions test score (GMAT recommended)
• Recommended undergraduate GPA 3.0 or better
• Evidence of competency in quantitative areas
• 2 letters of recommendation 
• The admissions test requirement is waived for applicants who hold a terminal degree (e. g. MD, PhD)
• Applications should be submitted by January 1 for Winter 2007 enrollment

Program of Study

The MHSM program for working professionals takes two years to complete. Since the course schedule for the downtown classes is one course per week for the first 3 trimesters, the MHSM downtown will finish in three years. An internship is required as the capstone experience. Students may complete the internship through their current employer.

Costs

Students are charged a program fee of $20,000. The fee is pro-rated per credit hour over the 42 credit hours required to complete the degree. The program fee pays for texts, parking, subscriptions, events, speakers, and program support. Total costs including in-state tuition plus fees are $33,890 (subject to change by Arizona Board of Regents).
